Lumen route with period

Question

In Laravel I can simply have an route with period like so:

Route::get('/foo.bar', function() {
  return 'Hello';
});

But in Lumen :

$router->get('/foo.bar', function() {
  return 'Hello';
});

This always returns 404 error:

The requested resource /foo.bar was not found on this server.

Please tell me why can't we have routes containing periods?

Any help would be great appreciated.

P.S:

If I replace the period with dash ( - ) or underscore ( _ ) it works fine.

Hi Hamed, what version of Lumen are you using? I have tested this just now on Lumen 5.5.1 route /foo.bar works fine. — Silvanus Matiku, Sep 26 '17 at 23:43
Hi, I'm using Lumen 5.5. But I also tried on 5.3 same result :( — Hamed Kamrava, Sep 26 '17 at 23:45

Same error. I find out something. If I enter the URL like this: `localhost:8000/index.php/foo.bar` it works fine! weird — Hamed Kamrava, Sep 27 '17 at 00:25

Most likely this is a server configuration issue. If using Apache try configuring .htaccess to remove .index.php when serving the page
