AngularJS Resource Custom Action and URL

Question

I'm trying to make a POST request to a URL with the following format:

/questions/:questionId:/answers

I have a resource set up (notice the custom save URL):

angular.module('questions').factory('AnswersResource',
    ['$resource',
    function($resource) {
        return $resource('questions/:questionId/answers/:answerId', {
            answerId: '@_id'
        }, {
            save: {
                method: 'POST',
                url: 'questions/:questionId/answers'
            }
        });
    }
]);

With a wrapper:

angular.module('questions').factory('Answers',
    ['AnswersResource',
    function(AnswersResource) {
        return {
            save: function(answer, questionId) {
                AnswersResource.save({questionId: questionId}, answer);
            }
        }
    }
]);

When I make a call to:

Answers.save($scope.answer, '123456');

I get a POST request to the server like this (notice the appended question mark):

POST /questions/123456/answers?

This throws off the routing on my back-end. Does anyone know why this question mark is appearing?

Thanks!

No, I was just using regular $resource. I hadn't heard of Restangular before but now that I've checked it out I'll definitely consider it for future projects. — benjyblack

Although I still don't know why the question mark was being appended, I managed to fix the problem by simply removing my custom URL. It turns out that the $save command is smart enough to know to post to: /questions/123456/answers even without specifying my own URL.
