Question

Let’s say I want to forward all requests at /js/* to a JavaScript controller Index method. In other words, these routes should all invoke JavaScriptController.Index():

/js/root/index.css
/js/user/account/index.css
/js/master.css

What would the route definition be in my Global.asax.cs file?

This doesn’t seem to work:

routes.MapRoute("JavaScript", "js/{*path}",
    new { controller = "JavaScriptController", action = "Index" });

The breakpoint is never invoked during Debug mode with:

public class JavaScriptController : Controller
{
    [HttpGet]
    public void Index(string path)
    {
        var browser = HttpContext.Request.Browser;
        System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
    }
}

Am I missing something?

You should have the controller shortname in the route default values i.e:

    routes.MapRoute(
     "JavaScript", 
     "js/{*path}",     
      new { controller = "javascript", action = "Index" }
   ); 

This would work.
