I'm using .net4.5rc with MVC4.0rc
The code below is taken from a MVC webapi application but I the same behaviour is there for reular asp.net mvc
My registerroutes code looks like this
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapHttpRoute(
name: "R1",
routeTemplate: "product/{id}",
defaults: new {
controller="Product",
id = RouteParameter.Optional
}
);
This works well with Ids that doesn't have a period in them. However when I ask for a product with a period in it, the call does not seem to get to ASP.NET
when I use the setting below as suggested on similar posts it works when there is a trailing / But it doesn't work without it
in summary
http://mysite.com/product/AZ0 //works
http://mysite.com/product/AZ.0/ //work with relaxedUrlToFileSystemMapping
http://mysite.com/product/AZ.0 //does not work
The response is 404 and I guess this is returned by IIS without involving ASP.NET. When I run routedebugger with a URL like the last one above, I don't even get the routedebugger stuff
How do I make IIS to pass the control to ASP.NET when there is a URL with a pattern: mysite.com/product/{id} regardless of whether there is a period in the id or not.
thanks.
