how can one send float values to a RESTful API?

/api/set/integername/49

/api/set/charname/B

/api/set/floatname/49.33

The third one doesn't work. 

404: Not Found

Can float values be encoded somehow to make this possible or do I have to wrap it in a json object?

I would just do something simple like convert the decimal point to an underscore :) It's less messy than URL encoding.

Do you have to support scientific notation (ex 1.5e+20)? In that case you'll have to deal with + and -. (though - doesn't need encoding)

This is a duplicate question to Passing double/float through URL to Web Api query string

The answer provided there was to add a slash to the end of the querystring. I've just tested that with a blank Microsoft WebApi2 project and it works a treat.
