AuthController.md

Controller

public class AuthController : ApiController {

    public HttpResponseMessage Post(string email, string userName, string password) {

        return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
    }
}

Request

POST http://localhost:49213/api/auth HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:49213
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 73

{userName: "tugberk", email: "[email protected]", password: "12345678"}

This one works:

public class User {

    public string UserName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public string Password { get; set; }
}

public class AuthController : ApiController {

    public HttpResponseMessage Post(User user) {

        return new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.OK);
    }
}

Request:

POST http://localhost:49213/api/auth HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:49213
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 79

{"UserName": "tugberk", "Email": "[email protected]", "Password": "12345678"}

POST http://localhost:49213/api/auth?username=tugberk&[email protected]&password=12345678

works but the first one does not.

weird. Is it supposed to work? I tried following either, didn't work as well:

POST http://localhost:49213/api/auth HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:49213
Content-Length: 73

userName=tugberk&[email protected]&password=12345678

You need to add
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

This one works:

Controller method:

public void Post(string value1, string value2, string value3) { }

Request:

POST http://localhost:42623/api/values HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Fiddler
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Host: localhost:42623
Content-Length: 32

value1=123&value2=234&value3=345
