I have very simple code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Http;
using System.Web.Http;

namespace Calculator.Controllers
{
    public class CalcController : ApiController
    {

        public string Get(string type)
        {

            return type;
        }

    }
}

And this is what it returns when I type in http://www.example.com/api/calc/test

<string xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/" i:nil="true"/>

When I use http://www.example.com/api/calc/?test=test it returns this:

<string xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">type</string>

How to I make it so I can just do the top one instead of the bottom one?
