I know that this question is mixture of URL knowledge and Rails-routing, but I am new to web development therefore I search for help here(not at first, I googled it but couldn't come up with understanding).

So I read that this article and some others to understand the meaning of colon
character inside the URL. So I see that it serves as a separator for URL fragments like scheme, username, password, port (<scheme>://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>), but in my rails routes I find something that I don't understand:

get "/api/posts/public:*params", to: 'public#api_request'

What bugs me is this part /public:*params of the URL.

I thing it is a part of the path segment of the URL, I don't know.

Can you help me please to understand that?

  Hm, looks like it should be either color or *, not both: guides.rubyonrails.org/…

  "it is a part of the path segment of the URL" - that is correct.
