[Mattias Persson]

That's nice, I'll definately try it out when I getthe time for it!

Could you supply some test case which can trigger it? That ShortestPath algo
has been tested and even deployed in production environments with correct
behaviour.

- return a single path or all paths.

Again, I'd be happy to whenever I get the time :)

So shortest path is the default algo if none specified?

My initial thought was to have a

    .../node/1/shortestpaths
    .../node/1/allpaths
    a.s.o.

Or even (may be my favourite)

    .../node/1/paths/shortest
    .../node/1/paths/simple

for multiple paths and

    .../node/1/path/shortest
    .../node/1/path/simple.

for single paths, but it's a matter of taste here I'd guess. Your solution
is also quite nice.


Best,
Mattias
