ASP .NET Core Web API route dot in url causes 404 not found

.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}

I have a problem of url routing in ASP.NET Core web api. When the URL contins dot (.) it returns 404 not found. For example,

http://localhost:9030/api/test/109/fake@email.com

The code that doesn't work with email but work with no dot

public class TestController : Controller{

{

    [HttpGet]

    [Route("{id:int}")]

    public IActionResult Get(int id)

    {

        //whatever

    }



    [HttpGet]

    [Route("{id:int}/{name:alpha}")]

    public IActionResult Get(int id, string name)

    {

        //whatever

    }

}

However, this works

http://localhost:9030/api/test/getbyname/109/fake@email.com

public class TestController : Controller{

{

    [HttpGet("GetById/{id}")]

    public IActionResult Get(int id)

    {

        //whatever

    }



    [HttpGet("GetByName/{id}/{name}")]

    public IActionResult Get(int id, string name)

    {

        //whatever

    }

}

How to solve that problem?

fake@email.com would not be valid regardless. Did you forget to url encode the @? urlencoder.org

No problem with @. The problem is dot (.). I'm using IIS 8.5

It may work, but you shouldn't be passing @ like that. You should url encode it.

Your problem is the

[Route("{id:int}/{name:alpha}")]

You are saying only accept alphabet characters which means a-z and A-Z not including any special characters. you are best using a regex to validate if it is always an email address.

try this

[Route("{id:int}/{name}")]
