Hi Max,

Does your framework support this scenario?

Yes, you have to use an HTTP verb attribute such as [HttpGet] so the framework knows the method name is an action name and not an HTTP verb name.

Let me know if it works.

Some initial confusion over which HTTP verb attribute namespace to use (System.Web.Mvc or System.Web.Http). I decided the latter was the one that is needed. Added the attributes and the custom web api routes showed right up in routes.axd.

Very cool... Thanks!
