Optional parameters are not working with selfhost web api application

[nbcwasp]

I am trying to create a selfhost web api application using attributerouting and it seems like optional parameters are not working. Or maybe I do it wrong.

Here is a sample code:

using System; using System.Linq; using System.Net; using System.Net.Http; using System.Web.Http; using System.Web.Http.Routing; using System.Web.Http.SelfHost;

using AttributeRouting; using AttributeRouting.Web.Http; using AttributeRouting.Web.Http.SelfHost;

namespace attributeroutingtest { [RoutePrefix("api/test")] public class TestController : ApiController { [GET("mymeth/{param1?}"), HttpGet] public HttpResponseMessage MyMeth(string param1) { return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK); } }

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {

            var config = new HttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:333");
            config.Routes.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();
            foreach (HttpRoute httpRoute in config.Routes.Cast<HttpRoute>())
            {
                Console.WriteLine(httpRoute.RouteTemplate);
            }
            using (var server = new HttpSelfHostServer(config))
            {
                server.OpenAsync().Wait();
                Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to quit.");
                Console.ReadLine();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.Write(ex);
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
    }
}

}

When I use address http://localhost:333/api/test/mymeth/somevalue I get 200 (OK), if I use http://localhost:333/api/test/mymeth I get a 404 which is not what I expected.

Optional query params do not work in web api due to integration issues.

Would you be so kind then to put this in documentation somewhere? Or it is already there and I've missed it?

I believe it's on the web site and marked in red already. :) http://attributerouting.net/#asp-net-web-api
