ASP.NET Web API, 405 status code and exception handling

Question

Is there a way to catch a 405 on Web API and return a custom message when the wrong Verb is sent? I am catching 500's by using ExceptionFilterAttribute. I am wanting to return a JSON or XML object.

HttpStatusCode.MethodNotAllowed is your friend.

Check Request.StatusCode for it in your filter.
