Question

I’m using a simple route as

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default2", // Route name
    "{cliurl}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { cliurl = "none", controller = "ABook", action = "Index", id = "none" } // Parameter defaults
);

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default", // Route name
    "{cliurl}/{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
    new { cliurl = "none", controller = "ABook", action = "Index", id = "none" } // Parameter defaults
);

and when I debug the website (VS2010 SP1), I have a breakpoint in my ABook Controller, inside the Index action method witch contains only:

//
// GET: /ABook/
public ActionResult Index()
{
    if (currentClient == null)
        return RedirectToAction("Empty");

    return View();
}

//
// GET: /Empty/
public ActionResult Empty()
{
    return View();
}

The thing is that, when I insert this in the browser:

http://localhost:14951/client_name/hashed_id

I get 3 breaks in that breakpoint.

How can I see what in the world is going on? why 3 times when I just requested 1, what is exactly the browser requesting?

I can only get the Route Parameters and I do get the first correct, but 2nd and 3rd are using the default values, and I tried to navigate through the RequestContext and I can’t see anything useful 🙁

Just want to know if there is a way to really see what’s been requested.
