Alamofire url encoded request parameter not getting added - url

Question

I'm following Alamofire's CRUD and authorization section:
enum Router: URLRequestConvertible {
So what I want to accomplish is basically a simple PUT request which looks like this:
http://localhost:8080/rest/users/add?id=
So in my code I have:
let requestParam : [String : AnyObject] = ["id" : "\(SOMEID)"]
Alamofire.request(Router.AddUser(parameters: requestParam))
.validate()
.responseString { response in
switch response.result {
case .Success:
..
However, following my server doesn't get this id parameter.
Debugging the NSMutableURLRequest, I find that the id parameter isn't added.
case .AddUser(let parameters):
print(parameters)
let encodedURL = Alamofire.ParameterEncoding.URL.encode(mutableURLRequest, parameters: parameters).0
print (encodedURL)
Console output:
["id": 5649fec6d4c662c573d39fb4]
{ URL: http://localhost:8080/rest/users/add }
This is really strange, because I had another method written almost identically but I wasn't getting the same issue.
Edit:
It turns out after some trials that it's because the method is PUT. If it was GET method then parameters were added correctly. Does anyone know why I can't put request parameters for PUT? Is this intentional?

In your router, why don't you use NSURLComponents to build your url and then return NSMutableURLRequest like that:
enum Router: URLRequestConvertible {
...
var URLRequest: NSMutableUrlRequest {
var urlComponents = NSURLComponents()
urlComponents.host = // something
urlComponents.scheme = // probably wanna use https
switch self {
case .AddUser(let parameters):
// set urlComponents.path here
urlComponents.query = parameters.queryString
// depending on your code you may want to check before force unwrapping URL below
return NSMutableUrlRequest(URL: urlComponents.URL!)
}
}
}
then you can extend dictionary with a computed property of type String.
Hope that helps!
