Catch root of subrouter

[antonholmquist]

The route below matches /

router := mux.NewRouter()
router.Methods("GET").Path("/").HandlerFunc(func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    res.Write([]byte("/"))
})

If I want to match /subroute, shouldn't I be able to use this? It currently does not seem to work. Is this by design or a mistake?

subrouter := router.PathPrefix("/subroute").Subrouter()
subrouter.Methods("GET").Path("/").HandlerFunc(func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    res.Write([]byte("/subroute"))
})

that will match /subroute/ -- I also would like to match /subroute with no trailing slash so I have to have additional routes outside of the subrouter to match those.

Ideally this would work:

subrouter := router.PathPrefix("/subroute").Subrouter()
subrouter.Methods("GET").Path("").HandlerFunc(func(res http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
    res.Write([]byte("/subroute"))
})

but currently it does not.

@chadkouse don't suppose you found a workaround did you?
