ASP.NET MVC got 405 error on HTTP DELETE request?

asp.net-mvc, http-status-code-405, rest

Solution

It was frustrating to me too. It is because WebDAVModule is installed by default on IIS 7.5. By removing the module, you can get rid of this frustrating restriction. Simply,

    <system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
            <remove name="WebDAVModule"/> <- add this

Problem

I'm trying to pass the DELETE to a URL in asp.net MVC using JavaScript but however i always got `405 Method not allow` return. is there anyway to make this work? FYI: I've put the `[AcceptVerb(HttpVerb.Delete)]` attribute on my controller. ``` DELETE /post/delete/8 ``` this is the request
