Interesting. Look like (the latest?) .NET allows such a URI template 
that ignores the user parameter.

I couldn't reproduce this with our git master. It might be fixed between 
2.8 and master, but it rather looks like the request is sent to the 
SayHi  (not SayHi2) and hence blah isn't involved, so, is it really what 
you intended?

Can you please file a bug on bugzilla and attach them?
