HttpPut in Asp.net Mvc 5?

Question

I was trying to use "PUT" in my controller like

public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        [HttpPut]
        public ContentResult Test()
        {
            return Content("hi");
        }
    }

but I can't access it. I thought it was my code but after trying fiddler and getting the same error(404).

I think something else is up. I am just using iis express and mvc 5.

Before I never used HttpPut but been doing webapi lately so that's why I tried to do it in mvc 5 controller but I am not sure if in this case it bring me anything(especially with extra setup is needed as it seems like it is need)

Are you making an HTTP PUT request? If so, how are you making it? I've got [HttpPut] being used in production so I know it works. — Justin Helgerson

Can you show the full controller class and what the HTTP request that you're making looks like? — Justin Helgerson

@chobo2 Is this action in an MVC or Web API controller? What is the controller's name? What is the URL path you're requesting? — Jonathan Lonowski

Another possibility is to update the ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0.

<system.webServer>
    <handlers>
        <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
        <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*"   type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>

This solution can be found on: Attribute routing with http PUT method constraint

There are several possibilities for this failure. One is security, meaning that PUT header is being blocked:

Does your web server allow PUT headers? Try this:

...    
 <security>
            <requestFiltering>
                <verbs>
                    <add verb="PUT" allowed="true" />
                </verbs>
            </requestFiltering>
        </security>
    </system.webServer>

The other possibility is that your test is being subject to CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) and you may need to enable it in MVC. I have personally not done this MVC but only WebApi. I hope this link can help you:

Correct, Can you not use "PUt" with a regular controller, it is just a standard http request.

Well it is being ran locally through VS 2013 but I can try adding that to my web.config
