POST request doesn't work

Here is my prepareForSegue method

override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {
    let vc = segue.destinationViewController as! AllCommentsViewController
    if segue.identifier == "addComment" {
        if let stringText = commentTF.text {
            vc.CommentsArray.append(stringText)

            let urlString = "http://sekaaleksic.cloudlk.com/api/v1/post/comment/\(postId)/submitComment"

            let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: NSURL(string: urlString)!)
            let session = NSURLSession.sharedSession()
            let params = ["comment=\(stringText)"]

            request.HTTPBody = try? NSJSONSerialization.dataWithJSONObject(params, options: [])
            request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
            request.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Accept")
            request.addValue("\(stringText)", forHTTPHeaderField: "comment")
            request.HTTPMethod = "POST"

            let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(request, completionHandler: { data, response, error -> Void in

                print(request.HTTPBody)
                print(params)
                print(error)
                print(response)
                print(data)
            })

            task.resume()

            }

        }
    }
}

So, what's the problem? As you see, my urlString is where Wordpress API for submitting a comment. postId is an ID of a post.

I should do something like this: $_POST['comment'] = 'some comment message';

But this code isn't working (you can check the number of Comments for specific post on [this link][1])

Here is the XCode Log ->

["test"]
Optional(<5b22636f 6d6d656e 743d7465 7374225d>)
["comment=test"]
nil
Optional(<NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x137bd1300> { URL: http://sekaaleksic.cloudlk.com/api/v1/post/comment/1/submitComment } { status code: 200, headers {

You are encoding the JSON wrong.

Make params equal to:

["comment": stringText]

JSON is used to encode dictionaries, not concatenated strings.
