POST and GET on the same route

[samkpo]

I'm trying to create a REST api. I already had the GET method, but when I added the post method on the same route ("/") it disables the previous defined GET. Same goes if I first define the POST and then the GET method, only the last one define stays.

http_api my_api;

my_api.get("/") = [&](li::http_request& request, li::http_response& response) {
        throw li::http_error::unauthorized("You cannot access this route.");
};
my_api.post("/") = [&](li::http_request& request, li::http_response& response) {
        throw li::http_error::unauthorized("You cannot access this route.");
};

# this works
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{ "age": 2}' \
localhost:3000
You cannot access this route.

# this does not
curl -vXGET localhost:3000
Method GET not implemented on route /

Is there any way to make this work?

I'm new to this framework, but it appears that routes are stored in a data structure called drt_node where each route is a key in an unordered_map and therefore must be unique. I'm guessing this was an intentional design decision to help with performance.
