render :text sometimes rendering HTML?

rubyonrails-talk

This one really stumps me:

def hello   render :text => 'hi there' end

Renders with content-type 'html/text' most of the time. But not always, sometimes it has the type 'text/plain'.

For example: http::localhost:3000/controller/hello/rob.txt # renders as text http::localhost:3000/controller/hello/robots.txt # renders as html

the relevant line in my routes.rb is:   map.connect ':controller/:action/:id.:format'

any ideas?? DId I hit a bug?
