Hello,

I’m trying to create a custom API on Discourse for a plugin I’m working on.  
I haven’t any problem to create a `POST` request, but when I try to create one with `GET`, it all the time returns a 404 error page.

Here is my code.

```plaintext
after_initialize do
    module ::MyApiComments
        class Engine < ::Rails::Engine
            engine_name "myapi_comments"
            isolate_namespace MyApiComments
        end
    end
   
    class MyApiComments::CommentsController < ::ApplicationController
        def get_topic_comments
            # Some stuff here
            render :json => message, :status => 200
        end
    end

    MyApiComments::Engine.routes.draw do
        get '/myapi-t/:id' => 'comments#get_topic_comments'
    end

    Discourse::Application.routes.append do
        mount ::MyApiComments::Engine, at: "/"
    end
end

```

When I use `post '/myapi-t/:id' => 'comments#get_topic_comments'`, all works fine. But I absolutely need to use a GET request and I can’t understand why it doesn’t works.

(by the way, I know there is already an API route to get topic posts, but I don’t use it for good reasons :))

Thanks for your help :).
