Reading FromUri and FromBody at the same time
A post body is typically a URI string like this:
Message=foobar&TestingMode=true
You have to make sure that the HTTP header contains
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
EDIT: Because it's still not working, I created a full example myself.
It prints the correct data.
I also used .NET 4.5 RC.
// server-sidepublic class ValuesController : ApiController { [HttpPost] public string PushMessage([FromUri] string x, [FromUri] string y, [FromBody] Person p) { return p.ToString(); }}public class Person { public string Name { get; set; } public int Age { get; set; } public override string ToString() { return this.Name + ": " + this.Age; }}// client-sidepublic class Program { private static readonly string URL = "http://localhost:6299/api/values/PushMessage?x=asd&y=qwe"; public static void Main(string[] args) { NameValueCollection data = new NameValueCollection(); data.Add("Name", "Johannes"); data.Add("Age", "24"); WebClient client = new WebClient(); client.UploadValuesCompleted += UploadValuesCompleted; client.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"; Task t = client.UploadValuesTaskAsync(new Uri(URL), "POST", data); t.Wait(); } private static void UploadValuesCompleted(object sender, UploadValuesCompletedEventArgs e) { Console.WriteLine(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(e.Result)); }}
The Web API uses naming regulations. The method for a post should be started with Post.
You should rename your PushMessage to method name PostMessage.
Also the web api defaulty listens (depending on your route) to 'api/values/Message' and not to Pusher/Pushmessage.
[HttpPost] attribute is not required
You may use following code to post json in request body:
var httpClient = new HttpClient();httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));Request request = new Request();HttpResponseMessage response = httpClient.PostAsJsonAsync("http://localhost/Pusher/PushMessage?x=foo&y=bar", request).Result;//check if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)var createResult = response.Content.ReadAsAsync<YourResultObject>().Result;
