Controller action never called [SOLVED]

Question

User471849597 posted

My controller action with two parameters is never called. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?

URL: /api/JobTitle/1/55              (The arguments are 1 and 55.)

ROUTE:                   (The parameters are oldDescription and newDescription.)

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
        name: "With2Ids",
        routeTemplate:  "api/{controller}/{oldDescription}/{newDescription}"
    );

CONTROLLER:             (The parameters match those in the route.)

[HttpPost]
public HttpResponseMessage UpdateJobTitle(string oldDescription, string newDescription)
{...

CALL FROM VIEW:

    $.ajax({
        url: updateUrl,
        type: 'POST',
        success: function (result) {
            window.location = "/Views/index.html";
        }
    });

=========================

I've added a custom route with two parameters with the same names are the controller-action parameters. But it never gets called. Any idea why? Thanks!
