Asp.Net MVC route action method doesn't call when there is a DOT (.) at the end of url

Question

Configured Route:

routes.MapRoute(
  name: "RedirectToProduct",
  url: "product/page/p{productId}/{shortName}",
  defaults: new { controller = "Product", action = "RedirectToProduct", shortName = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Action Method:

public class ProductController : Controller
{
    public async Task<ActionResult> RedirectToProduct(string productId, string shortName)
    {
    }
}

Problem..

• When I hit url http://localhost:1234/product/page/p1185/ , then I am getting call in controller's action method
• BUT when I hit url http://localhost:1234/product/page/p118.5 , I am NOT getting call in controller's action method. I see HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found (See there is DOT (.) in productId.)

What I want is- whether I add DOT (.) in the end OR not in productUd parameter, call should go in the controller's action method.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If the dot is the problem, like product/page/p118.5, then add runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests = true to your web.config, like:

<system.webServer>
   <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
     ...
   </modules>
 </system.webServer>
