Could not get to a route in asp.net core

Question

Why can't I get to the controller in my asp.net core application. Please see code below.

using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using HashingApplication;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using NgWithJwt.Models;

namespace NgWithJwt.Controllers
{
    [Route("api/[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    public class UserController : ControllerBase
    {
        private readonly ApplicationDbContext context;

        public UserController(ApplicationDbContext context)
        {
            this.context = context;
        }

        [HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        [Route("add-user")]
        public async Task<IActionResult> AddUser(AppUser model)
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                var saltValue = Guid.NewGuid().ToString() + model.Password;
                var password = Encryption.Encrypt(model.Password, saltValue);

                model.SaltValue = saltValue;
                model.Password = password;
                model.CreatedDate = DateTime.Now;

                context.Add(model);
                var response = await context.SaveChangesAsync();
                if(response > 0)
                {
                    return Ok(model);
                }
            }
            return BadRequest();
        }
    }
}

This is my class for model

 public partial class AppUser
    {
        [Key]
        public int Id { get; set; }

        [Column(TypeName = "nvarchar(100)")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Username is required.")]
        [DisplayName("Username")]
        public string UserName { get; set; }

        [Column(TypeName = "nvarchar(100)")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "First Name is required")]
        [DisplayName("First Name")]
        public string FirstName { get; set; }

        [Column(TypeName = "nvarchar(100)")]
        [DisplayName("Middle Name")]
        public string MiddleName { get; set; }

        [Column(TypeName = "nvarchar(100)")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Last Name is required")]
        [DisplayName("Last Name")]
        public string LastName { get; set; }

        [Column(TypeName = "nvarchar(max)")]
        public string SaltValue { get; set; }

        [Column(TypeName = "nvarchar(100)")]
        [Required(ErrorMessage = "Password is required")]
        [DisplayName("Password")]
        public string Password { get; set; }

        [Column(TypeName = "nvarchar(100)")]
        public string UserType { get; set; }
        public DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
    }

My server is running so I try accessing it with postman like so:

{
    "Username": "juan",
    "FirstName": "Juan",
    "MiddleName": "A.",
    "LastName": "Dela Cruz",
    "Password": "password",
    "UserType": "User"
}

Server is running at

"https://localhost:44366/"

I use this url to post data

http://localhost:44366/api/user/add-user

This is the error I get on postman. I am using the debug mode to get to my controller break point.

Answer 1

Firstly,as @Json's answer,you need to send request by url:https://localhost:44366/XXX.

Then,For 400 Bad Request,you need to remove the following line:

[HttpPost]
//[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]   //remove this line
[Route("add-user")]

Answer 2

@Jason answer could be solve your problem but I have this problem sometimes when using postman because I forgot to turn off the SSL certificate verification

Answer 3

You said the server is running at https://localhost:44366/ but you are sending requests to http://localhost:44366/
