Hi, Can I call routers from the command line? For example, ``` $ php ./public/index.php xml Method not allowed

Method not allowed

Method not allowed. Must be one of: GET

Hi, you can’t do this out of the box, as Slim relies on a proper HTTP Method being used. Actually not Slim but Fast-Route. There is a [PSR7 Slim-Cli Middleware](https://github.com/pavlakis/slim-cli), which detects a CLI call and Sets the Request method to GET. While i think it’s debatable to simulate being an HTTP call, rather than a proper implementation of a CLI call, this is what would work right now.
