Rails routes: resourcing from the root path "/"

I have a Query resource that I want to route to the root of my domain. (So posting to "/" goes to the `queries#create` action, etc...). My routes.rb: ``` root :to => "home#index" resources :queries, :path => '' ``` rake routes: ``` root / home#index queries GET / queries#index POST / queries#create ``` All seems fine, but when I try to post to "/", it is somehow getting routed to the 'root_path', even though I'm submitting it via `POST`. So instead of creating a new Query item, it just reloads the home page. I get this in the log: ``` Started POST "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-04-16 20:34:58 -0400 Processing by HomeController#index as HTML ``` Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Edit When I move `:root =>` to the very bottom of the controller, I get a redirect loop when I `GET "/"`, which is why my ':root' definition isn't at the bottom. Edit It works when I replace the :root definition with `get "/" => "home#index", :as => "root"`, but that feels too hackish to me. How do I specify what HTTP verbs to use on the `root` definition?
