How can I pass a boolean in the Http call to an ASP.NET method?

Question

Here is what I have so far:

[Route("EndTest/{examId:int}/{userTestId:int}/{retrieve:boolean}")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> EndTest(int examId, int userTestId, bool retrieve)

Can someone validate if this is the correct way to do this, if it is even possible and if so then how could I pass the boolean with a Http call?

According to this Route Constraints you need to change boolean to bool.

//eg: GET /EndTest/1234/56789/true
[HttpGet]
[Route("EndTest/{examId:int}/{userTestId:int}/{retrieve:bool}")]
public async Task<IHttpActionResult> EndTest(int examId, int userTestId, bool retrieve) {...}

It is also good practice to indicate what HTTPMethod is allowed when adding route attributes that do not conform to the default convention used by the framework. I added HttpGetAttribute in my example.
