Symfony2 Routing optional parameter with trailing slash

I am trying to write my first application with Symfony2. It's a fairly simple game just to get used to working with Symfony2, but the Routing is bugging me.

I use YAML for my routing and have the following routes:

upload:
    path: /{_locale}/upload/{currentGameType}/
    defaults:  { _controller: BaseAcmeBundle:Default:upload, currentGameType: gameName, _locale: nl }
    requirements:
        _locale: nl|en

The currentGameType is optional, and always is 'gameName', a default game if it is not set.

So when going to en/upload the route upload: is ignored and I get the message that the route is not found

When for example I go to the en/upload/gameName the route does work and the gametype is set to gameName. Why does this parameter not want to be optional?

So.. I am completely lost the pas few hours and wish for some help/pointers.

Thanks in advance.

edit: So, few minutes after posting I found out that without the trailing slashes in the routing it does work. However knowing this it is still an issue.

just create a second path:

upload_bare:
    path: /{_locale}/upload/
    defaults:  { _controller: BaseAcmeBundle:Default:upload, _locale: nl }
    requirements:
        _locale: nl|en

just note that in your function you should have gameName = null by default and it should be your last argument.
