singular vs. plural in API URLs

[jar398]

Michel Franck says:

@jonathan: I was confused by the path difference in '/services/authenticate' vs. /service/cypher'. Maybe having the same path would avoid others to do the same mistake as I did.

My response:

Hmm. I used my understanding of the Ruby on Rails naming convention for singular vs. plural; I believe this appears in other EOL beta site URLs. The thinking is that when you authenticate, this is an operation that covers all the services (plural), while cypher is just one service among many.

I consider Jeremy the last word on URLs, and I have neither an opinion nor enough Rails experience to say. We'll keep track of this for later review, thanks.

Hi Jonathan, I'm not familiar with Ruby, I leave it to you to decide what's best on this question.

I addressed this in the documentation a bit, which I think will help, but doesn't really address your main suggestion head-on, so I will leave the issue open.
