Zend router not determining params correctly

Question

I have the following code:

$routes = array( 'twitter_output' => new Zend_Controller_Router_Route( 'twitter/:username\.:format', array('controller' => 'twitter', 'action' => 'index') ) );

Basically I want it to match: http://site.com/twitter/edu2004eu.json (except not only json, maybe xml and others too).

But when I print my request object, it gives me:

[_params:protected] => Array ( [username\.:format] => edu2004eu.json )

but it should say:

[_params:protected] => Array ( [username] => edu2004eu, [format] => json )

I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I've tried the same with a slash instead of a dot (http://site.com/twitter/edu2004eu/json) and it seems to be working, but I want the dot (to be cool like all APIs)

I don't think the standard route type is set to use dot as a separator. You could use a regexp route instead:

$routes = array( 'twitter_output' => new Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Regex( 'twitter/([\w]+)\.([\w]+)', array('controller' => 'twitter', 'action' => 'index'), array(1 => 'username', 2 => 'format'), 'twitter/%s.%s' ) );
