WebAPI Delete not working - 405 Method Not Allowed

问题:

I appreciate any help on this as the site is supposed to go live tonight!

I have a web api controller with a Delete method. The method executes fine on my local machine running IIS Express (Windows 8) but as soon as I deployed it to the live IIS server (Windows Server 2008 R2) it stopped working and throws the following error message:

HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP Verb) is being used

I have looked around the web for solutions and I implemented most reasonable ones. My web config has the following settings:

<system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<handlers>
    <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" />
    <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" />
    <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
    <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness32" responseBufferLimit="0" />
    <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" responseBufferLimit="0" />
    <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>

I have also tried to change the Handler Mappings and Request Filtering in IIS to no avail. Please note that the WebDAV Authoring Rules in IIS seems to be disabled.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated Thanks.

I found the solution eventually! If you come across the same issue, add the following to your web.config

<system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
        <remove name="WebDAVModule"/> <!-- ADD THIS -->
    </modules>
    ... rest of settings here

I hope this helps

In some cases removing it just from modules can produce next error:

500.21 Handler "WebDAV" has a bad module "WebDAVModule" in its module list

Module: IIS Web Core Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler"

solution was suggested here. Also need to remove it from handlers.

<system.webServer>
    <modules>
        <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
    </modules>
    <handlers>
        <remove name="WebDAV" />
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>

In my case none of the above solutions was working. This was because I had changed the name of the parameter in my Delete method.

I had

public void Delete(string Questionid)

instead of

public void Delete(string id)

I need to use the id name because that's the name that is declared in my WebApiConfig file. Note the id name in the third and fourth lines:

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

I got this solution from here.

回答4:

The Javascript for HTTP DELETE verb must be like this:

$.ajax({
    **url: "/api/SomeController/" + id,**
    type: "DELETE",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(data, statusText) {
        alert(data);
    },
    error: function(request, textStatus, error) {
        alert(error);
        debugger;
    }
});

Do not use something like this:

...
data: {id:id}
...

as when you use the POST method.

I also had the same problem, I am calling WebAPi and is getting this error. Adding following configuration in web.config for services solved my problem

    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
        <remove name="WebDAVModule"/> <!-- add this -->
    </modules>

in web.config file solved my problem. This is How i was calling from client side

using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
    client.BaseAddress = new Uri(environment.ServiceUrl);
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Clear();
    client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
    HttpResponseMessage response = client.DeleteAsync("api/Producer/" + _nopProducerId).Result;
    if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
    {
        string strResult = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<string>().Result;
    }
}

回答6:

After trying almost every solutions here this worked for me. Add this in your APIs config file

<system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <remove name="WebDAV" />
      <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
      <remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
      <remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
      <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
    </handlers>
    <modules>
        <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
    </modules>
</system.webServer>

回答7:

Go to applicationHost.config (usually under C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config) file and comment out the following line in applicationHost.config

1)Under <handlers>:

<add name="WebDAV" path="*" verb="PROPFIND,PROPPATCH,MKCOL,PUT,COPY,DELETE,MOVE,LOCK,UNLOCK" modules="WebDAVModule" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="None" />

2)Also comment out the following module being referred by the above handler under <modules>

<add name="WebDAVModule" />

回答8:

I had 405 error Method Not Allowed because I had omitted to make the Delete method on the WebApi controller public.

It took me a long time to find this (too long!) because I would have expected a Not Found error in this case, so I was incorrectly assuming that my Delete method was being denied.

The reason for Not Allowed rather than Not Found is that I also had a Get method for the same route (which will be the normal case when implementing REST). The public Get function is matched by the routing and then denied because of the wrong http method.

A simple error I know but it may save someone else some time.

回答9:

Just to add. If this is your config

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

please keep doing as Hugo said, and do not set Route attribute to the controller get method, this gave a problem in my case.

回答10:

[HttpPost] attribute on the top of Delete method solved this issue for me:

[HttpPost]
public void Delete(int Id)
{
  //Delete logic
}

回答11:

I had the similar issue but for PUT - none of the other suggestions worked for me.

However i was using int rather than the default string for the id. adding {id:int} to the route solved my problem.

    [Route("api/Project/{id:int}")]
    public async Task<IHttpActionResult> Put(int id, [FromBody]EditProjectCommand value)
    {
       ...
    }

回答12:

We had to add custom headers to our web.config as our request had multiple headers that confused the API response.

<httpProtocol>
    <customHeaders>
        <remove name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" />
        <remove name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" />
        <remove name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" />
    </customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
