Json 调用 Web API 2 端点时出现 HTTP 415 不支持的媒体类型错误

I have an existing Web API 2 service and need to modify one of the methods to take a custom object as another parameter, currently the method has one parameter which is a simple string coming from the URL. After adding the custom object as a parameter I am now getting a 415 unsupported media type error when calling the service from a .NET windows app. Interestingly, I can successfully call this method using javascript and the jquery ajax method.

The Web API 2 service method looks like this:

<HttpPost>
<HttpGet>
<Route("{view}")>
Public Function GetResultsWithView(view As String, pPaging As Paging) As HttpResponseMessage
   Dim resp As New HttpResponseMessage
   Dim lstrFetchXml As String = String.Empty
   Dim lstrResults As String = String.Empty

   Try
      '... do some work here to generate xml string for the response
      '// write xml results to response
      resp.Content = New StringContent(lstrResults)
      resp.Content.Headers.ContentType.MediaType = "text/xml"
      resp.Headers.Add("Status-Message", "Query executed successfully")
      resp.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.OK
   Catch ex As Exception
      resp.StatusCode = HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError
      resp.Headers.Add("Status-Message", String.Format("Error while retrieving results from view {0}: {1}", view, ex.Message))
   End Try
   Return resp
End Function

该方法同时允许POST和GET，因为Paging对象是可选的.如果我使用GET请求调用此方法，则它可以工作.

而且很简单.NET客户端调用该服务的代码如下所示:

Dim uri As String = BASE_URI + "fetch/someview"
Dim resp As HttpWebResponse
Dim sr As StreamReader
Dim lstrResponse As String
Dim reqStream As Stream
Dim bytData As Byte()
Dim req As HttpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create(uri)
Dim lstrPagingJSON As String
Dim lPaging As New Paging
Try
   lPaging.Page = 1
   lPaging.Count = 100
   lPaging.PagingCookie = ""
   req.Method = "POST"
   lstrPagingJSON = JsonSerializer(Of Paging)(lPaging)
   bytData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(lstrPagingJSON)
   req.ContentLength = bytData.Length
   reqStream = req.GetRequestStream()
   reqStream.Write(bytData, 0, bytData.Length)
   reqStream.Close()
   req.ContentType = "application/json"

   resp = req.GetResponse()

   sr = New StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream, Encoding.UTF8)
   lstrResponse = sr.ReadToEnd
   '// do something with the response here
Catch exweb As WebException
   txtOutput.AppendText("Error during request: " + exweb.Message)
Catch ex As Exception
   txtOutput.AppendText(String.Format("General error during request to {0}: {1}", uri, ex.Message))
End Try

The .NET client is running on the 4.5 framework and the service is on 4.5.2 framework. The error is thrown at the resp = req.GetResponse() line. Some things I tried already:

• 在客户端上，将req.Accept值设置为"application/xml"或 "text/xml"
• in the service method, removed the line `resp.Content.Headers.ContentType.MediaType = "text/xml"
• replace the XML response content with some static JSON, tried to rule out any problems with sending in JSON on the request and getting XML back on the response

So far I keep getting the same 415 error response no matter what I try.

当从javascript调用时，我提到了这一点，下面是我的ajax调用:

$.ajax({
   headers: {},
   url: "api/fetch/someview",
   type: "POST",
   data: "{Count:100,Page:1,PagingCookie:\"\"}",
   contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
   dataType: "xml",
   success: function (data) {
      alert("call succeeded");
   },
   failure: function (response) {
      alert("call failed");
   }
});

在服务端，route config或其他任何东西都没有什么特别之处，它几乎都是现成的Web API 2.我知道路由正在工作，调用被正确地路由到方法，它们不会意外地转到其他地方，所以我在这个过程中遗漏了什么.网络客户端？非常感谢您的帮助！

--- UPDATE ---
I tried to create a completely new Web API service to rule out any possible issues with the existing service, I created a controller with a single method that takes a custom object as the parameter. I then tried calling that from the .NET client and got the same error. I also tried using WebClient instead of HttpWebRequest, but still get the same error. This is also something that previously worked for me with Web API (prior to Web API 2).

--- UPDATE ---
I also tried creating a new web app using Web API 1, when I call that with a POST my complex object parameter is now coming in null. I have another web service running Web API 1 and verified that I can still call that successfully with complex objects. Whatever my problem is, it appears to be something with the JSON passing between the client and server. I have checked the JSON I'm sending it and its valid, the object definition is also an exact match between the client and server so the JSON should be able to be parsed by the server.
