I am having routes like below to delete/list an user.

map.connect 'developer/:user_name/delete',:controller=>"developers",:action=>"delete",:method=>:delete  

map.connect 'developer/:user_name/list',:controller=>"developers",:action=>"list",:method=>:get

While listing the user by encoding the Dot with %2E, i can see the success response

    The dot is not allowed by default in Rails routing because the dot is considered the extension of the page. You should avoid using dots in URLs.

    However, in your case you can instruct Rails to consider the dot for the :user_name parameter passing a regular expression.

    map.connect 'developer/:user_name/list', :controller => "developers", :action => "list", :method=> :get, :user_name => /[\w.]+/

    PS. Because of map.connect, you are using a very old version of Rails (Rails < 3). You should upgrade your application.
