Symfony FosRestBundle - form route without format

Question

I am trying to bootstrap simple REST app using latest Symfony (2.4.5) with FOSRestBundle (dev-master 6b384c1).

My configuration:

fos_rest:
    format_listener: true
    view:
        view_response_listener: true

sensio_framework_extra:
    view:    { annotations: false }
    router:  { annotations: true }

My routing:

products:
    type:     rest
    resource: Telemetrik\Bundle\ProductBundle\Controller\ProductsController

Controller:

<?php

// namespace & imports

class ProductsController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * @return Form
     * @View("TelemetrikProductBundle::form.html.twig")
     */
    public function newProductAction()
    {
        return $this->getForm();
    }

    /**
     * @param Request $request
     * @return View|Form
     * @View
     */
    public function postProductsAction(Request $request)
    {
        $form = $this->getForm();

        $form->handleRequest($request);

        if ($form->isValid()) {
            // Logic placeholder
        }

        return $form;
    }

    protected function getForm()
    {
        return $this->createForm(new ProductType());
    }
}

When using router:debug I get:

new_product              GET    ANY    ANY  /products/new.{_format}
post_products            POST   ANY    ANY  /products.{_format}

Which is mostly fine BUT since newProductAction is supposed to be a form:

I don't want it to be accessible from formats other than HTML
I want to access my form from /products/new not /products/new.html (which right seems to be the only option I can access that resource). If I go to products/new I get: Format '' not supported, handler must be implemented

Add this to your config.yml:

fos_rest:
    format_listener:
        rules:
            - { path: ^/products/new, priorities: [html, json, xml], fallback_format: html, prefer_extension: false }

This should set the html extension as the default for this path, and should make it so the extension is not required.
