ASP.NET Web API, 405 status code and exception handling

Question

Is there a way to catch a 405 on Web API and return a custom message when the wrong Verb is sent? I am catching 500's by using ExceptionFilterAttribute. I am wanting to return a JSON or XML object.

Could you give example how the wrong Verb sent, ex: you api does not support POST when client still send POST? — cuongle

HttpStatusCode.MethodNotAllowed is your friend.

Check Request.StatusCode for it in your filter.

You can set it in the web.config using the customErrors element inside the System.Web.

<customErrors defaultRedirect="url" mode="On">
   <error statusCode="statuscode" redirect="url"/>
</customErrors>
