In ASP.Net Web API, how do you fake PUT and DELETE?

I'm experimenting with ASP.Net Web API, which, by convention, splits controller methods into a Restful style of Get(), Put, Post and Delete. My question is how does one handle the PUT and DELETE requests that might come from a non-Ajax browser request.
So, let's say that I have foobar with id = 123. A normal fetch request would be
/foobars/123
To delete the item, the Restful way would be to issue:
DELETE /foobars/123
However, PUT
and DELETE
are not browser standards and do not have enough major browser support to be trusted if your request is coming from a non-Ajax browser request. So a common accepted workaround is:
POST /foobars/123?_method=DELETE (source: Restful Web Services)
For the new ASP.Net Web API, is there a best practice / common approach for working with this problem? What I want is for anything with a _method=DELETE
to be routed to the DELETE()
method in the controller and _method=PUT
to be routed to the PUT() method of a controller.

You can easily achieve this using a DelegatingHandler
.
So you would code:
public class HttpMethodHandler : DelegatingHandler
{
protected override Task<HttpResponseMessage> SendAsync(HttpRequestMessage request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
var queryString = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(request.RequestUri.Query);
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(queryString["_method"]))
{
request.Method = new HttpMethod(queryString["_method"]);
}
return base.SendAsync(request, cancellationToken);
}
}
And then add the handler to the pipeline. I have a blog on that.
