I have a controller inheriting from ApiController and I am using <a href="http://nuget.org/packages/AttributeRouting" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the AttributeRouting project</a> (perhaps best explained <a href="http://www.strathweb.com/2012/05/attribute-based-routing-in-asp-net-web-api/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>) to set up my routes.</p> <p>I have set up the following method for POST:</p> <pre><code>[POST("bank/{id}")] public void Post(int id, BankRequest bank) { // Create a new Bank here } </code></pre> <p>When calling this from <a href="http://fiddler2.com/fiddler2/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Fiddler</a> I can debug this in Visual Studio 2012 and see that everything works as expected. I can see the id is correct and that the json is automatically serialized correctly into my BankRequest object. All very nice, I think. GET also works as expected.</p> <p>Then I have a similar method for PUT:</p> <pre><code>[PUT("bank/{id}")] public void Put(int id, BankRequest bank) { // Update a Bank here } </code></pre> <p>The problem is that I get a HTTP 404 Not Found message when calling this. All I do is send <strong>exactly</strong> the same url and json in, just changing from POST to PUT. All I do in Fiddler is change from POST to PUT, so my url and json are preserved. When I switch back to POST it works fine as well. I don't know if it is the fancy AttributeRouting that does not work or if something else is incorrect.</p> <p>Does anyone know why?</p> <p>Please note that I am setting up an API defined by others, so I have to support PUT.</p>
