A function at `/foo/[path].js` will match requests for `/foo/index.html`, but not `/foo/`.

I updated the title and description to give a clearer explanation of what I found confusing.

Expected Behavior

I made an example project with some wildcard routes. It's deployed to cloudflare-pages-routing.pages.dev.

The functions routing docs explain how to use [[path]].js and [path].js for wildcard matching. When I read them, I think of the route matching in my sample project as:

1. /foo/*
2. /bar/**

There isn't an explanation for matching empty routes (ex: /foo/ or /bar/) and I was expecting those to be the equivalent of the corresponding default resource (ex: /foo/index.html, /bar/index.html). However, the behavior differs depending on whether or not you explicitly include index.html in a request.

I was expecting a request to /foo/ or /foo/index.html to both match the route at functions/[path].js, but it only works for /foo/index.html.

The behavior for functions/bar/[[path]].js works like I was expecting. A request to /bar/ or /bar/index.html will match the functions/bar/[[path]].js route.

Actual Behavior

• A request to /foo/ does not match the functions/foo/[path].js route.
• A request to /foo/index.html does match the functions/foo/[path].js route.

Given the routes functions/foo/[path].js and functions/bar/[[path]].js and static HTML at public/foo/index.html and public/bar/index.html, you'll get the following results from requests:

URL	Response
https://cloudflare-pages-routing.pages.dev/foo/	/foo/index.html
https://cloudflare-pages-routing.pages.dev/foo/index.html	/foo/[pages].js
https://cloudflare-pages-routing.pages.dev/bar/	/bar/[[path]].js
https://cloudflare-pages-routing.pages.dev/bar/index.html	/bar/[[path]].js

The request to /foo seems like the odd one out.

Section that requires update

The functions routing docs.

Additional information

The local behavior of wrangler matches the current pages.dev behavior.

@lauragift21 can you work with @deadlypants1973 on this one?
