404 Page Not Found With CodeIgniter REST_Controller

Question

I'm trying to use CodeIgniter REST_Controller. Following is my code.

<?php if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

require_once (APPPATH.'/libraries/REST_Controller.php');

class Test extends REST_Controller{

    public function index_get() {
        $this->response(array(''));
    }
}

When I access http://codeigniter/index.php/test the response

<xml><item/></xml>

is shown on the browser.

But when trying to access

http://codeigniter/index.php/test.xml or http://codeigniter/index.php/test.html I get a 404 error.

The documentation of the above mentioned library says that both

http://example.com/books.json 
http://example.com/books?format=json

works with the library.

Can someone point out to me what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

You must call it like this

SERVER-URL/index.php/test/index

And if you have the test.php inside a folder in controllers then call it like this

SERVER-URL/index.php/test/FOLDER-NAME/index
