+If a method is requested that is not implemented, this action will
+return a status 405 (Method Not Found). It will populate the "Allow" header
with the list of implemented request methods. You can override this behavior
by implementing a custom 405 handler like so:
my $controller = $c->component( $self->class );
my $method = $self->name . "_" . uc( $c->request->method );
- if ( $controller->can($method) ) {
+ if ( my $action = $controller->action_for($method) ) {

$c->execute( $self->class, $self, @{ $c->req->args } );
return $controller->$method( $c, @{ $c->req->args } );
