asp.net mvc - .net MVC Odata endpoint works on POST, but 404s on GET -

my question should have simple answer, after hours of experimentation , googling, have nothing i'm here.

i working .net mvc 5 odata 2.0. trying create new odata endpoint works on get. i've created few endpoints work post, can't seem 1 works get.

relevant code

webapiconfig.cs

odataconventionmodelbuilder builder = new odataconventionmodelbuilder(); builder.entityset<review>("reviews"); builder.entityset<strategy>("strategies"); actionconfiguration reviewsinstrategy = builder.entity<strategy>().action("reviewsinstrategy"); reviewsinstrategy.returnscollectionfromentityset<review>("reviews"); config.routes.mapodataserviceroute("odata", "odata", builder.getedmmodel()); 

strategiescontroller.cs

[enablequery]  public iqueryable<review> reviewsinstrategy([fromodatauri] guid key){     strategy strategy = db.strategies.find(key);     return strategy.reviews  } 

now go fiddler , try

[myurl]/odata/strategies(guid'[myguid]')/reviewsinstrategy

i 404 result. when change fiddler post (no other change - don't add accept headers or content types or anything) works fine.

how make work get?

you need add get-function controller:

[enablequery] public singleresult<strategies> get([fromodatauri] guid key) {     iqueryable<strategies> result = db.strategies.where(p => p.id == key);     return singleresult.create(result); } 

that way can use request on strategies-resource. if still want use custom action must add parameter config:

actionconfiguration reviewsinstrategy = builder.entity<strategy>().action("reviewsinstrategy").returns<review>().parameter<guid>("key");  [httpget] [odataroute("reviewsinstrategy(key={key})")] public ihttpactionresult<review> reviewsinstrategy([fromodatauri] guid key){     strategy strategy = db.strategies.find(key);     return ok(strategy.reviews);  } 

not sure if works complex type guid. maybe need change string , parse inside function. here msdn article this.
