Optional parameter

[smolesen]

Given the following controller:

[RoutePrefix("product")]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
    [GET("?{number:int=0}"), HttpGet]
    public void GetByName(int number=0)
    {
        ...
    }
}

I would have expected to be able to reach it using:

~/product

however is seems like I have to add the Optional parameter for this to work:

[GET("?{number:int=0?}"), HttpGet]

Shouldn't it just be implicit, that a parameter with a default value is optional??

Query params don't work in web api web host, FYI. But if you're in self-host, should work (I think). The default and optional param together is nonsense, as you correctly surmised, and should trigger an "invalid syntax" exception or something.
