routing

I have the default Route in Global.asax: RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.Optional } ); I wanted to be able to target a specific function, so I created another route: RouteTable.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "WithActionApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new { id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.Optional } ); So, in my controller, I have: public string Get(int id) { return "object of id id"; } [HttpGet] public IEnumerable<string> ByCategoryId(int id) { return

I'm using Devise in a Rails 3 app, but in this case, a user must be created by an existing user, who determines what permissions he/she will have. Because of this, I want: To remove the route for users to sign up . To still allow users to edit their profiles (change email address and password) after they have signed up How can I do this? Currently, I'm effectively removing this route by placing the following before devise_for :users : match 'users/sign_up' => redirect('/404.html') That works, but I imagine there's a better way, right? Update As Benoit Garret said, the best solution in my case

Say I've got a few GET routes on my Express application: // music albums app.get('/api/albums', routes.albums.getAlbums); app.get('/api/albums/:id', routes.albums.getAlbum); app.get('/api/albums/artwork', routes.albums.getAlbumArtwork); and I attempt to hit them using the follow jQuery AJAX snippet: $("#retrieveAlbumArtwork").on("click", function() { $.ajax({ url: "api/albums/artwork", type: "GET", data: { artist: $("#albumArtist").val(), title: $("#albumTitle").val() }, // ... callbacks and such For some reason, this call hits the second handler, with the /:id parameter, instead of the

With the default web api route config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "API Default", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); and a controller public class TestController : ApiController { [HttpGet] public HttpResponseMessage Get(string id) { return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK, id); } } A request to 'api/test/1' returns 1 If for some reason you send a request to 'api/test/1%20' the route 404's. Now this example may seem silly since browsers trim trailing spaces, but for a route like 'api/{controller}/{id}/{extrastuff}' the space in '1 '

I'd like to ignore multiple wildcard routes. With asp.net mvc preview 4, they ship with: RouteTable.Routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}"); I'd also like to add something like: RouteTable.Routes.IgnoreRoute("Content/{*pathInfo}"); but that seems to break some of the helpers that generate urls in my program. Thoughts? Haacked There are two possible solutions here. Add a constraint to the ignore route to make sure that only requests that should be ignored would match that route. Kinda kludgy, but it should work. RouteTable.Routes.IgnoreRoute("{folder}/{*pathInfo}", new {folder="content
