Rest APi with Post method returns "Method not allowed" error

I am creating a REST API in .net with Post method as I want to extend getting data from the client ( Note I dont want to use GET method).

Here is my simple REST API which returns error " Method not allowed" . WHat is missing ??

[OperationContract]
 [WebInvoke(Method = "POST", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "/Test/{id}")]
        void Test(string id);

Url call is http://localhost/RestTestWebService.svc/json/Test/abs. This call returns Method not allowed error.

Web.config file 

<system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />

    <!--<authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" />
    </authentication>-->

    <membership>
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" />
      </providers>
    </membership>

    <profile>
      <providers>
        <clear />
        <add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/" />
      </providers>
    </profile>

    <roleManager enabled="false">
      <providers>
        <clear />

        <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/" />
      </providers>
    </roleManager>

  </system.web>

        <endpoint name="json" address="json" binding="webHttpBinding" behaviorConfiguration="WebHttpBehavior" contract="RestTest.IRestTestWebService"/>

        <!--<endpoint name="json" address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="RestTest.IRestTestWebService"/>-->
      </service>
    </services>

UriTemplate must be "/Test". Your operation contract should look like:

[OperationContract]
[WebInvoke(Method = "POST", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json, UriTemplate = "/Test")]
 void Test(string id);

Your URL call should be:

var myTestUrl = 'http://localhost/RestTestWebService.svc/json/Test'

You should send 'id' in the 'data' parameter of the ajax call:

$.ajax({
    url: myTestUrl,
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    type: 'POST',       
    data: JSON.stringify({ 'id': 12345}),
    dataType: 'json'
}).done(function (response) {
    console.log('done');
});

(Also, address="json" on service endpoint is not necessary, you can simply have adress="" and url = http://localhost/RestTestWebService.svc/Test)

UPDATE Sending the id in the url isn't incorrect, it is in my opinion not like the HTTP protocol
