请求的资源不支持 HTTP 方法“GET”

Question

My route is correctly configured, and my methods have the decorated tag. I still get "The requested resource does not support HTTP method 'GET'" message?

[System.Web.Mvc.AcceptVerbs("GET", "POST")]
[System.Web.Mvc.HttpGet]
public string Auth(string username, string password)
{
  // Décoder les paramètres reçue.
  string decodedUsername = username.DecodeFromBase64();
  string decodedPassword = password.DecodeFromBase64();

  return "value";
}

Here are my routes:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "AuthentificateRoute",
    routeTemplate: "api/game/authentificate;{username};{password}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Game",
                    action = "Auth", 
                    username = RouteParameter.Optional, 
                    password = RouteParameter.Optional },
    constraints: new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Get) }
);

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "DefaultApi",
    routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Home", id = RouteParameter.Optional }
);

Please use the attributes from the System.Web. Http namespace on your WebAPI actions:

    [System.Web.Http.AcceptVerbs("GET", "POST")]
    [System.Web.Http.HttpGet]
    public string Auth(string username, string password)
    {...}

The reason why it doesn't work is because you were using the attributes that are from the MVC namespace System.Web.Mvc . The classes in the System.Web.Http namespace are for WebAPI .

In my case, the route signature was different from the method parameter. I had id, but I was accepting documentId as parameter, that caused the problem.

[Route("Documents/{id}")]   <--- caused the webapi error
[Route("Documents/{documentId}")] <-- solved
public Document Get(string documentId)
{
  ..
}

Answer 3

just use this attribute

[System.Web.Http.HttpGet]

not need this line of code:

[System.Web.Http.AcceptVerbs("GET", "POST")]

Answer 4

I was experiencing the same issue.. I already had 4 controllers going and working just fine but when I added this one it returned "The requested resource does not support HTTP method 'GET'". I tried everything here and in a couple other relevant articles but was indifferent to the solution since, as Dan B. mentioned in response to the answer, I already had others working fine.

I walked away for a while, came back, and immediately realized that when I added the Controller it was nested under the "Controller" class and not "ApiController" class that my other Controllers were under. I'm assuming I chose the wrong scaffolding option to build the .cs file in Visual Studio. So I included the System.Web.Http namespace, changed the parent class, and everything works without the additional attributes or routing.

Resolved this issue by using http(s) when accessing the endpoint. The route I was accessing was not available over http . So I would say verify the protocols for which the route is available.
