MY asp.net core web api is returning a 405 when I try a DELETE call. When the API is running in my local machine I can send the delete call successfully.
In IIS under the site's Handler Mappings WEbDAV has DELETE listed as one of the verbs to be handled: IIS WebDAV settings
web.config has DELETE listed as a specified verb as well
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="GET,POST,PATCH,DELETE" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath=".\ServiceCatalog.API.exe" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" hostingModel="inprocess" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>
The delete endpoint works when testing from my local computer but once deployed I get the 405 return message.
In case it helps here is the code for the DELETE endpoint in the API
[HttpDelete("{id}")]
public ActionResult DeleteImage(int id)
{
Images img = new Images();
img.Imageid = id;
//Check that the recrod exists to be deleted. IF not return NotFound status
var imgCheck = _context.Images.Any(i => i.Imageid == img.Imageid);
if (!imgCheck)
{
return NotFound("No record found to delete.");
}
//delete selected image record
_context.Remove(img);
_context.SaveChanges();
// Return the id of the deleted record
return Ok("Image Id " + img.Imageid + " has been successfully deleted.");
}
Code for the ConfigureServices of the API
// Cors Configuration
services.AddCors(o =>
{
o.AddPolicy(CorsPolicy,
builder => builder
.WithOrigins("http://xxxweb011",
"http://xxxweb011.x.com")
.AllowAnyHeader()
.AllowAnyMethod());
});
services.AddMvc(o =>
{
o.ReturnHttpNotAcceptable = true;
});
// Connection string from environmental variables
var connectionString = Configuration["connectionString:101stg"];
// Connection to SQL
services.AddDbContext<ServiceCatalogContext>(option => option.UseSqlServer(connectionString));
services.AddControllers()
.AddNewtonsoftJson();
services.AddOData();
services.AddAutoMapper(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies());
Code for Configure
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)
{
/*
if (env.IsDevelopment())
{
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
else
{
app.UseExceptionHandler(appBuilder =>
{
appBuilder.Run(async context =>
{
context.Response.StatusCode = 500;
await context.Response.WriteAsync("An unexpected fault happened. Try again later.");
});
});
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
}
*/
app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage(); //Keeping always shown during development
app.UseRouting();
//added for screenshot uplaod
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapControllers();
endpoints.EnableDependencyInjection();
endpoints.Select()
.OrderBy()
.Filter()
.SkipToken()
.MaxTop(100)
.Expand()
.Count();
endpoints.MapODataRoute("api", "api", GetEdmModel());
});
app.UseCors(CorsPolicy);
app.UseStatusCodePages();
}
