Question

I have two actions in a controller:

    public ActionResult ReportRequest()
    {
        return View();
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public ActionResult Report(ReportRequestObj rr, FormCollection formValues)
    {
        if (Request.HttpMethod != "POST")
            return RedirectToAction("ReportRequest");

        ReportingEngine re = new ReportingEngine();

        Report report = re.GetReport(rr);

        return View(report);
    }

My problem is, the URL for the ‘Report’ page gets saved in the browser, and when I click on it, I get a 404, because the request has not been posted.

I put in a handler in to redirect to the report request page however on debugging it just doesn’t seem to hit this at all.

Is there any other way I can determine if the request is a post, and if not redirect back to another page?

Thanks

Answer 1

Add action

public ActionResult Report()
{
    return RedirectToAction("ReportRequest");
}

or just remove [HttpPost] from action Report
