Task query REST method not allowed error - bug?

It could be I'm missing something, but can't find what. I'm trying to query tasks via REST but I'm getting the following error:

{"errorMessage":"Method Not Allowed","statusCode":405}‍

The uri I'm using is: host/service/repository/tasks?sort=id&start=1&size=5&order=asc
The JSON request object looks like this:

taskSearch: {"assignee":null,"createTime":null,"delegationState":null,"description":null,"dueDate":null,"execution":null,"id":null,"name":null,"owner":null,"parentTask":null,"priority":null,"processDefinition":null,"processInstance":null,"taskDefinitionKey":null,"url":null,"variables":null,"nameLike":"iv","unassigned":null,"candidateUser":null,"candidateGroup":null,"involvedUser":null,"taskDefinitionKeyLike":null,"processInstanceId":null,"processInstanceBusinessKey":null,"createdBefore":null,"createdAfter":null,"dueBefore":null,"dueAfter":null,"excludeSubTasks":null,"active":null,"includeTaskLocalVariables":null,"includeProcessVariables":null}
‍‍‍

and I'm using POST method as indicated in the userguide (saw that in code as well).

Can anyone tell me if I missed something or there is some kind of bug in the task query rest service?

Thanks,
Ivan

That's an error in the docs, thanks for spotting that. Use the POST query/tasks instead with the JSON-body, like the query/executions and query/process-instances.

Extract from org.activiti.rest.application.RestServicesInit class, contains all paths for rest-services:
router.attach("/query/tasks", TaskQueryResource.class);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; router.attach("/query/process-instances", ProcessInstanceQueryResource.class);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; router.attach("/query/executions", ExecutionQueryResource.class);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; router.attach("/query/historic-process-instances", HistoricProcessInstanceQueryResource.class);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; router.attach("/query/historic-task-instances", HistoricTaskInstanceQueryResource.class);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; router.attach("/query/historic-activity-instances", HistoricActivityInstanceQueryResource.class);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; router.attach("/query/historic-variable-instances", HistoricVariableInstanceQueryResource.class);<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; router.attach("/query/historic-detail", HistoricDetailQueryResource.class);
