Is routes case-sensitive in Web API OData Service using ODataController?

Question

i followed this to learn how ODataController works, everything is OK but when i changed the request uri
from

"localhost:49292/odata/Employees" //result: 200

to

"localhost:49292/odata/employees" //result: 404

to say one word: "odata" or "Odata" and "Employee" are all ok, but lowercase "employee" return 404. any explanation about this. Moreover, the routes in asp.net mvc is not case-sensitive afaik.

Answer 1

how about including a Route attribute and direct it to lower case. for Upper case web api will take care about it

[Route("odata/employees")]

add this on the top of the controller

if odata is common for every action then you can include [RoutePrefix] attribute
