Working console program:
static voidMain(string[] args)
{
// Set up server configuration
HttpSelfHostConfiguration config =newHttpSelfHostConfiguration("http://localhost:8080");
//Route Catches the GET PUT DELETE typical REST based interactions (add more if needed)
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("API Default","api/{controller}/{id}",new{ id =RouteParameter.Optional},new{ httpMethod =newHttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Get,HttpMethod.Put,HttpMethod.Delete)});
//This allows POSTs to the RPC Style methods http://api/controller/action
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("API RPC Style","api/{controller}/{action}",new{ httpMethod =newHttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Post)});
//Finally this allows POST to typeical REST post address http://api/controller/
config.Routes.MapHttpRoute("API Default 2","api/{controller}/{action}",new{ action ="Post"},new{ httpMethod =newHttpMethodConstraint(HttpMethod.Post)});
using(HttpSelfHostServer server =newHttpSelfHostServer(config))
{
server.OpenAsync().Wait();Console.WriteLine("Press Enter to quit.");Console.ReadLine();
}
}
