Catch call to Web API 2 before it reach method

Question

I am having problem with a call to:

[HttpDelete]
public IHttpActionResult DeleteFile(Guid appendixId, Guid? storageId)

The routing seems okey but get get "405 Method Not Allowed".

I am wondering if there is a way to hock in to web api to catch the call as early as possible. That way I can know what might be wrong. Anyone know a way?

The problem seems not to be in the code. Is seems to be somewhere else. The reason for this is that I shelved and a colleague ran the exact same code and it worked. What on my machine could give this kind of error?

How do you make the call? You can get this error if you use the *wrong* route. Did you use `myController/deletefile?appendixId=aaa&storageId=bbb` ? Something else? — Panagiotis Kanavos, Jan 31 '18 at 08:34
The problem was not the route it was on my computer. It was WebDav that blocked my calls. — MichaelGul, Jan 31 '18 at 13:26

You are *assuming* this isn't a bad route. Making server-wide changes "just in case" can lead to some very nasty problems – Panagiotis Kanavos Jan 31 '18 at 08:36
