How do I test Put Method

Question

User-400158872 posted

I have following code for Put method for my ProductController.

public HttpResponseMessage Put(int id, Product product)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid && id == product.Id)
            {
                var result = _repository.Update(id, product);
                if (result == false)
                {
                    return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
                }
                return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.OK);
            }
            else
            {
                return Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
            }
        }

How can i test this method in the browser using fiddler or any other developer tools for chrome. 

I tried using Put method using Advanced Client Rest but got the error.

{"Message":"No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://localhost:34133/api/product/'.","MessageDetail":"No action was found on the controller 'Product' that matches the request."}

Chrome Advanced rest client is a good tool to test rest service. Looks like id is missing in the url. Please do following steps

1) Enter url as http://localhost:34133/api/product/1

2) Add product in JSON format in rest client payload (Request body)

3) Set "application/json" as content type
