RESTFUL routes strange behavior

routes.rb

api.resources :friends, :controller => :friends, :only => [:list, :exists], :collection => {:list => :get, :ids => :get, :exists => :get}

here is my rake routes.

list_api_friends GET /api/friends/list {:controller=>"api/friends", :action=>"list"}

formatted_list_api_friends GET /api/friends/ list.:format {:controller=>"api/ friends", :action=>"list"}

this is the only accepted calls for controller => friends action => list , so when calling

curl -X POST http://localhost/api/friends/list.xml should return routing error but instead of that it returns the list as if was a GET request...

any suggestions

Do you still have the default route at the bottom of routes.rb ?
