I’m using shortcuts for login, logout etc. in routes.rb, for example:  
map.login ‘login’, :controller =\> ‘session’, :action =\> ‘new’

When I access [http://localhost:3000/login](http://localhost:3000/login) I get following exception:  
ActionController::MethodNotAllowed

Only get, head, post, put, and delete requests are allowed.

Does anyone know what’s wrong there? I’m using 2.1.0 btw.
