REST URI questions

Hi,

I stuck by creating the URIs for my Rails Application. Let me explain my app: The User has Tasks , which are organized as a Nested_Set. So with the URI "domain/tasks" the root tasks of the user are shown. Now i want to show all Tasks (the whole tree). What's the best practice doing this? My ideas are "domain/alltasks" as an own resource, but there will be only one method (index) in the resource or "domain/tasks;all" , but i think this vetoes against the REST rules.

So what do you think?

If I understand correctly you require two different view modes for the index action. In this case I would vote for using domain/tasks for both with a parameter (optional) for the mode. I do not think this is unrestful.
