Hi Matija,

If you change the default attributes to "Private" it will do what you
expect.  I think this may be a bug, though (thought this was fixed, but I
may be remembering wrong).

The index action should match "/" (though, in this circumstance you aren't
really chaining to anything, so it would make more sense to use sub index :
Path, which would do what you expect)
