I would like to know, how to pass an XML for post method, where it takes that xml as object, specially when using with windows forms, without using JQuery or JSON? There are plenty of examples which shows how to post and put data with JQuery and JSON but not with Windows or other form of posting.

Sooner reply will be a great help on time.

Thanks

For Example:

[AccessTokenMessageHandler("api_token")]

public class SecurityController : ApiController { }

HttpClient client = new HttpClient(config);

There maybe a typing error.

The correct maybe:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient(server);

I'm receiving: "The best overload for 'MapHttpRoute' does not have a parameter named 'handler'" when attempting this with Web API (v4.0.20710.0)?

Thanks for all the great insight on these topics. Keep up the good work! :)

@goneale: It's defined in System.Web.Http.HttpRouteCollectionExtensions in System.Web.Http.dll

@sunny r gupta: Thanks!

I am 2 days old to WebAPI/ developing RESTful HTTP services. Could you please tell me some pointers how to handle the situation.

1. Normally all APIs will return HTTP 200, 201, 404, 400, 500 response codes as per the operation result

2. If the client adds "?suppressHttpRequestCodes=true" to any of the API, that call should always return 200 Response and in case of error there should be some detailed Error description JSON object attached to it.

Kindly help
