How Many Delete or Put methods in a WebApi Controller?

Question

I have a problem with ASP.NET WebAPI`. I wanted to keep in RESTful API, so I create some apis in one controller, such as:

GET /api/user/ - userslist
GET /api/user/{id} - a user
GET /api/user/{id}/books - get all books of the user
Delete /api/user/{id} - delete the user
Delete /api/user/{id}/books - delete users' books

All the Get methods works fine, but only one Delete method can work, when the other was called, it will got a 405 response. Could you help me ?

Thanks. here is my controller

[RoutePrefix("api/Car")]//AttributeRouting asp.net 4.0 (not 5.0)
public class CarController : ApiController
{
    public CarInfoPagedList GetCarInfos(int page = 0, int limit = 10)
    {  
        var list = new CarInfoPagedList();
        return list;
    }

    [HttpRoute("{id}")]
    public string GetCarById(string id, string time = " ") 
    {
        return "some";
    }


    [HttpRoute("{id}/runtime")]
    public CarState GetCarRuntime(string id) {
        return new CarState(id);
    }

    [DELETE("{id}")]//405
    public void DeleteCar(string id)
    {
        //TODO:remove car
    }

    [DELETE("{id}/terminal/{terminalId}")]//work fine
    public void Delete(string id, string terminalId) 
    {
    }

    [PUT("{id}/")]//405
    public void PutCar(string id, CarInfo car)
    {
    }

    [PUT("{id}/terminal/{terminalId}")]//work fine
    public void Put(string id, string terminalID) 
    {
    }
}

Try to add some code, it is a little complicated to help you without seeing your code. — Facundo La Rocca, Dec 26 '16 at 13:43
Did you try this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15619075/webapi-delete-not-working-405-method-not-allowed — Roman Marusyk, Dec 26 '16 at 16:26
Have you tried defining the verbs on ALL methods? I had a similar problem because two routes were different only based on the verbs they used. — Chris Watts, Dec 26 '16 at 16:35
Did you try decorating that method as `[HttpDelete][Route("{id}"]` — Developer, Dec 26 '16 at 17:13
@MegaTron yes I did. but that question has only one delete method, I have two, and one of them can work , the other responses 405. — Da Zhang, Dec 27 '16 at 00:21
When I append some words at the end of urls , all of them can work. delete /api/cars/{id}/name delete /api/cars/{id}/type but delete /api/cars/{id} can't work. — Da Zhang, Dec 27 '16 at 01:30
@Da Zhang, the problem is you have multiple routes with the same path, that only differ on the verb. Put the httpget/httpput/httpdelete attributes on all of them. — Chris Watts, Dec 27 '16 at 09:30
