.Net, Azure routes other than index are not working, how do I fix this?

Part of my controller:
[HttpGet]
[Route("")]
public IActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpGet]
[Route("/dragon")]
public IActionResult Dragon()
{
HttpContext.Session.Clear();
if(HttpContext.Session.GetObjectFromJson<Dachi>("Dachi") == null)
{
HttpContext.Session.SetObjectAsJson("Dachi", new Dachi());
}
Dachi dachi = HttpContext.Session.GetObjectFromJson<Dachi>("Dachi");
ViewBag.Fullness = dachi.fullness;
ViewBag.Happiness = dachi.happiness;
ViewBag.Meal = dachi.meal;
ViewBag.Energy = dachi.energy;
return View();
}
When I go to "myurl.azurewebsites.net/dragon"
It should start this simple dragon game.
However, I get a message that it is unable to handle its request.
My "" route (the Index) works fine.
Here is my web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified"/>
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%" arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\logs\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false"/>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
</system.webServer>
Why is my route other than Index not showing up???
Please help me. Thank you.

Do not use '\' on your route. Remove the same and it should work. To learn about routes - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc668201.aspx#routes

httpModule in App_code will not load when debugging locally

I have a simple .net web application and implemented a class based off of IHttp. I copied the example directly from Microsoft documentation. The class is located in the app_code directory.
The problem is that whenever I run the application I get the following error:
HttpException (0x80004005): Could not load type 'httpModuleEx.App_Code.HelloWorldClass'
Here is my web.config entry to register the new class:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<modules>
<remove name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking"/>
<remove name="HelloWorldClass"/>
<add name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ApplicationInsightsHttpModule, Microsoft.AI.Web"
preCondition="managedHandler"/>
<add name="HelloWorldClass" type="httpModuleEx.App_Code.HelloWorldClass"/>
</modules>
</system.webServer>
I have tried many variations on referencing the HelloWorldClass here but none worked for me.
I also tried making the build action of the HelloWorldClass.cs file (located under the app_code directory) "compile".
Below is the code from the HelloWorldClass.cs file:
using System;
using System.Web;
namespace httpModuleEx.App_Code
{
public class HelloWordClass : IHttpModule
{
// In the Init function, register for HttpApplication
// events by adding your handlers.
public void Init(HttpApplication application)
{
application.BeginRequest += (new EventHandler(this.Application_BeginRequest));
application.EndRequest += (new EventHandler(this.Application_EndRequest));
}
private void Application_BeginRequest(Object source, EventArgs args)
{
HttpApplication application = (HttpApplication)source;
HttpContext context = application.Context;
string filePath = context.Request.FilePath;
string fileExtension =
VirtualPathUtility.GetExtension(filePath);
if (fileExtension.Equals(".aspx"))
{
context.Response.Write("<h1><font color=red>" +
"HelloWorldModule: Beginning of Request" +
"</font></h1><hr>");
}
}
private void Application_EndRequest(Object source, EventArgs args)
{
HttpApplication application = (HttpApplication)source;
HttpContext context = application.Context;
string filePath = context.Request.FilePath;
string fileExtension =
VirtualPathUtility.GetExtension(filePath);
if (fileExtension.Equals(".aspx"))
{
context.Response.Write("<hr><h1><font color=red>" +
"HelloWorldModule: End of Request</font></h1>");
}
}
public void Dispose()
{
}
}
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could it be because you've spelled World as Word in your code :)

Yes. Thank you! Also I changed the web.config to:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
<modules>
<remove name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking"/>
<remove name="HelloWorldClass"/>
<add name="ApplicationInsightsWebTracking" type="Microsoft.ApplicationInsights.Web.ApplicationInsightsHttpModule, Microsoft.AI.Web"
preCondition="managedHandler"/>
<add name="HelloWorldClass" type="httpModuleEx.App_Code.HelloWorldClass, httpModuleEx"/>
</modules>
</system.webServer>

Why is my Post method disallowed?

I've been successfully using this method to GET REST data:
private JArray GetRESTData(string uri)
{
try
{
var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
var webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
var reader = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());
string s = reader.ReadToEnd();
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JArray>(s);
}
catch // This method crashes if only one json "record" is found - try this:
{
try
{
MessageBox.Show(GetScalarVal(uri));
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}
}
return null;
}
Between the webRequest and webResponse assignments, I added this:
if (uri.Contains("Post"))
{
webRequest.Method = "POST";
}
...and called it with this URI:
http://localhost:28642/api/Departments/PostDepartment/42/76TrombonesLedTheZeppelin
Although I have a Post method that corresponds to it:
Controller
[Route("api/Departments/PostDepartment/{accountid}/{name}/{dbContext=03}")]
public void PostDepartment(string accountid, string name, string dbContext)
{
_deptsRepository.PostDepartment(accountid, name, dbContext);
}
Repository
public Department PostDepartment(string accountid, string name, string dbContext)
{
int maxId = departments.Max(d => d.Id);
// Add to the in-memory generic list:
var dept = new Department {Id = maxId + 1, AccountId = accountid, Name = name};
departments.Add(dept);
// Add to the "database":
AddRecordToMSAccess(dept.AccountId, dept.Name, dbContext);
return dept;
}
...it fails with, "The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed."
Why is it not allowed?
UPDATE
Based on what I found here: http://blog.codelab.co.nz/2013/04/29/405-method-not-allowed-using-asp-net-web-api/, I added this to Web.Config:
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT"
type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script"
preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
</handlers>
...so that it went from this:
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<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>
</system.webServer></configuration>
...to this:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
<remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT"
type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script"
preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer></configuration>
....but it made no diff.
UPDATE 2
It doesn't even make it to the call in the Controller:
[HttpPost]
[System.Web.Http.Route("api/Departments/PostDepartment/{accountid}/{name}/{dbContext=03}")]
public void PostDepartment(string accountid, string name, string dbContext)
{
_deptsRepository.PostDepartment(accountid, name, dbContext);
}
I have a breakpoint inside it that's not reached...???
UPDATE 3
VirtualBlackFox's last comment was the one that did the trick. I just changed my "is it a post?" in my client code to the following:
if (uri.Contains("Post"))
{
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.ContentLength = 0; // <-- This line is all I added
}
...and now it works.

I don't do Asp.Net but i'll guess that you need to specify the HttpPost attribute as can be seen in Attribute Routing / HTTP Methods documentation :
[HttpPost]
[Route("api/Departments/PostDepartment/{accountid}/{name}/{dbContext=03}")]
public void PostDepartment(string accountid, string name, string dbContext)
{
_deptsRepository.PostDepartment(accountid, name, dbContext);
}
Small sample that work on my PC :
TestController.cs:
using System.Web.Http;
namespace WebApplication2.Controllers
{
public class TestController : ApiController
{
[HttpPost]
[Route("api/Departments/PostDepartment/{accountid}/{name}/{dbContext=03}")]
public string PostDepartment(string accountid, string name, string dbContext)
{
return accountid + name + dbContext;
}
}
}
Test.html :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
$.ajax("api/Departments/PostDepartment/accountid/name/dbContext", {
type: 'POST', success: function (data) {
$('#dest').text(data);
}
});
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="dest"></div>
</body>
</html>
Sample program to call the service in C# :
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Net;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
Console.WriteLine(GetRestData(#"http://localhost:52833//api/Departments/PostDepartment/42/76TrombonesLedTheZeppelin"));
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static dynamic GetRestData(string uri)
{
var webRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.ContentLength = 0;
var webResponse = (HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse();
var reader = new StreamReader(webResponse.GetResponseStream());
string s = reader.ReadToEnd();
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(s);
}
}
}

HttpHandler for prefix in url

I am trying to convert http call in aspx to https
Back Ground : i have a Aspx page that is in https site.on that page i have reference to script of google
Aspx page reference :
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
i have created a HttpHandler for Prefix Http
IHttpHandler Interface implementation :
public class HttpToHttpsHandler : IHttpHandler
{
public bool IsReusable
{
get { return false; }
}
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
try
{
context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
if (context.Request.RawUrl.Contains("http:"))
{
string newUrl = context.Request.RawUrl.Replace("http", "https");
context.Server.Transfer(newUrl);
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
throw;
}
}
}
Web.Config file registration code :
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="http:*" type="HttpToHttpsHandler , App_Code"/>
</httpHandlers>
But i am not getting the control in Http handler class.what could be the possible error.

I am wondering if your assembly is called "App_Code". In your type declaration you must enter the assembly name, not the folder name of the C# file.

The path attribute as far as I know it is relative position and it only can take one of two values: the name/file-name or the extension/file-extension to map. Like
<add verb="*" path="*.SampleFileExtension"
type="Example1 " />
Or
<add verb="*" path="demo.*"
type="Example1 " />
I tried a combination of both these and it also worked, which says that anything that starts with test and for any extension will be handler by handler:
<add verb="*" path="test*.*"
name="HelloWorldHandler"
type="demo.HelloWorldHandler,App_Code" />
But please notice that it is a relative path, so it means it does not include the http or https values from the URL and therefore a Handler cannot be used to validate URLs.

You need to define your assembly name which contains the HttpToHandler class.
The handler is defined as the class HttpToHttpsHandler in the your assembly which if is in the same project then it will be your application name.
Go through this article
<httpHandlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.aspx"
type="HttpToHttpsHandler , AssemblyName" />
</httpHandlers>
</system.web>
if (!Request.IsLocal && !Request.IsSecureConnection)
{
string redirectUrl = Request.Url.ToString().Replace("http:", "https:");
Response.Redirect(redirectUrl);
}
HttpRequest.IsSecureConnection Property determines whether the HTTP connection uses secure sockets ( HTTPS) or not .-MSDN

httpModules not working on iis7

I have the following module
public class LowerCaseRequest : IHttpModule {
public void Init(HttpApplication context) {
context.BeginRequest += new EventHandler(this.OnBeginRequest);
}
public void Dispose() { }
public void OnBeginRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) {
HttpApplication app = (HttpApplication)s;
if (app.Context.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().EndsWith(".aspx")) {
if (app.Context.Request.Url.ToString() != app.Context.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower()) {
HttpResponse response = app.Context.Response;
response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.MovedPermanently;
response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
response.RedirectLocation = app.Context.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower();
response.SuppressContent = true;
response.End();
}
if (!app.Context.Request.Url.ToString().StartsWith(#"http://zeeprico.com")) {
HttpResponse response = app.Context.Response;
response.StatusCode = (int)HttpStatusCode.MovedPermanently;
response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently";
response.RedirectLocation = app.Context.Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Replace(#"http://zeeprico.com", #"http://www.zeeprico.com");
response.SuppressContent = true;
response.End();
}
}
}
}
the web.config looks like
<system.web>
<httpModules>
<remove name="WindowsAuthentication" />
<remove name="PassportAuthentication" />
<remove name="AnonymousIdentification" />
<remove name="UrlAuthorization" />
<remove name="FileAuthorization" />
<add name="LowerCaseRequest" type="LowerCaseRequest" />
<add name="UrlRewriter" type="Intelligencia.UrlRewriter.RewriterHttpModule, Intelligencia.UrlRewriter" />
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</httpModules>
</system.web>
It works grate on my PC running XP and IIS 5.1
but on my webserver running IIS7 and WS 2008 dosn't works, please help I don't know how to work this out.
Thanks

On IIS7 and higher use
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<modules>
<add name="CustomModule" type="Samples.CustomModule" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Above is correct for IIS 7.5
<modules>
<add name="CustomModule" type="Samples.CustomModule" />
</modules>
the only problem I got, is that instance of application pool for particular application should be set to managed Pipeline = Integrated, not Classic..
or:
Using Classic Mode
If your application is to use Classic mode, then make sure that your application is configured for that type of pool and your modules are configured in system.web section and not in system.webServer section of web.config file.

In IIS go to feature view select module
double click to module then right click and press (Add Managed Module)
then put name and type as defined in web.config
example:
<httpModules>
<add name="CustomModule" type="WebApplication.Security.CustomModule" />
</httpModules>
