以与控制器相同的前缀开头的路由不起作用

Question

Why Routes that starts with the same prefix as controller not working? With below code on my controller I am making a get call where RoutePrefix is same as the controller name. Now I am making a call as something like http://[localhost]/subscribers which is not working.

namespace WebApi.Controllers
{
 [RoutePrefix("subscribers")]
 public class SubscribersController : ApiController
 {
    [Route("")]
    [HttpGet]
    public IQueryable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" }.AsQueryable();
    }
 }
}

I tried something as Route("~/subscribers") instead of just Route("") but that is not working as well.

The option that is working for me currently is http://[localhost]/subscribers/all with below code

namespace WebApi.Controllers
{
 [RoutePrefix("subscribers")]
 public class SubscribersController : ApiController
 {
    [Route("all")]
    [HttpGet]
    public IQueryable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" }.AsQueryable();
    }
 }
}

How can I make it work as http://[localhost]/subscribers

Both samples work just fine. I've created a new web project and added both versions to the project. Try to create a sample project and check if problem persists.
