ASP.NET Web API - PUT & DELETE Verbs Not Allowed - IIS 8

Question

I recently upgraded from Visual Studio 2010 to the Visual Studio 2012 RC. The installer also installs IIS 8 Express which Visual Studio now uses as the default web server.

Answer 1

The another reason can be the following:
I changed my Url for Web Api method according to this answer:

Url.Action("MyAction", "MyApiCtrl", new { httproute = "" })

But this method creates link like:

/api/MyApiCtrl?action=MyAction

This works correctly with GET and POST requests but not with PUT or DELETE.
So I just replaced it with:

/api/MyApiCtrl

and it fixed the problem.
