fiddler post + webapi 2 issue

This is my webapi 2 endpoint - the MVC duplicate suggestion is not relevant 

[Route("Test2")]
[HttpPost]
public IHttpActionResult Test2([FromBody] Guid? guid)
{
    return Ok();
}

when I use fiddler to manually test this using:

Content-Type: application/json

in the header and this payload in the body:

{"guid":"1c3c8edc-d87a-46dc-adbf-e7112bf16d22"}

The method is hit but the guid is null. Any ideas?

You send response through header. Thats why you get null. You have to send request through body. 

public class Test
{
 public Guid guid {get; set;}
}

you have to sent request through body like 

"1c3c8edc-d87a-46dc-adbf-e7112bf16d22"

and if you want to send request through header then your code will be like this 

[Route("Test2")]
[HttpPost]
public IHttpActionResult Test2()
{
   IEnumerable<string> headerValues=request.Headers.GetValues("MyCustomID");
   var guid = headerValues.FirstOrDefault();
   return Ok();
}

It can't be deserialized directly to Guid. Now, you are sending object from fiddler, something like:

public class SampleObject
{
     public Guid guid {get; set;}
}

Try send just:

"1c3c8edc-d87a-46dc-adbf-e7112bf16d22"

in the body of the request.
