RubyOnRais uses this convention so it can't be totally wrong. probably RoR devs doesn't care about REST conventions. Or they did their own interpretation. But it doesn't mean they are right just because they have a framework. Nobody code for the state of the art.

If you are creating a pure API then this is not used, it's only used when you also want a web interface. | |

On Rails, /users/new is a GET which points to new user form page and that form is sent to POST /users
