Question

Can anyone see what I’m doing wrong with this GET request to my API (from Fiddler):

http://localhost:51488/api/searchapi/Demo&Dte=2012-08-25&Nts=1

It returns a 400 Bad Request HTTP response.

My route is:

routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "DefaultApi",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        );

My SearchAPIController.cs is:

   // GET api/searchapi
    public IEnumerable<RatesViewModel> Get(string id, DateTime Dte, int Nts)
    {

So I would expect:

id = "Demo"
Dte = 2012-08-25
Nts = 1

But it just doesn’t appear to get as far as the controller.

Thanks for any help,

Mark

http://localhost:41645/api/searchapi/Demo&Dte=2012-08-25&Nts=1

should be:

http://localhost:41645/api/searchapi/Demo?Dte=2012-08-25&Nts=1

Notice that query string parameters start with a question mark (?).
