控制器中自定义方法的WebApi路由

Question

I've recently picked up the ASP.NET Web API stuff and whilst I've cracked authorisation and authentication, I can't crack routing. It's a nightmare!

I have created a Authenticate() method with an AuthenticationController . I add the [HttpGet] attribute to Authenticate() and yet whenever I hit the API I get a 404 .

Here is my current WebApiConfig :-

public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
{
     config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiWithId", "{controller}/{id}", new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }, new { id = @"\d+" });
     config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiWithAction", "{controller}/{action}");
     config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiGet", "{controller}", new { action = "Get" }, new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Get) });
     config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("DefaultApiPost", "{controller}", new { action = "Post" }, new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Post) });
}

And the address I am trying is: /authentication .

The Controller looks like this:-

[BasicHttpAuthorize(RequireAuthentication = true)]
public class AuthenticationController : ApiController
{
     [HttpGet]
      public string Authenticate(string email, string password, string agent, string ip)
      {

      }
}

Can anyone direct me in the right direction please? I've tried hitting multiple addresses/endpoints:-

• /authentication/authenticate
• /authentication/
• /authentication

as per my comment:

why do you have 4 routes? I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve exactly exactly but you could most likely achieve it with the top (default) route only. if you remove or comment out the last 3 routes and youre using web api then your Authenticate method should be hit when you perform a GET
