I have several RESTful endpoints like such:
System.Security.Role.svc
System.Security.User.svc
etc.
This is meant to be a namespace so our RESTful URL's would look like:
/rest/{class namespace}/{actions}
I have tried a few examples to get the SVC extension removed when my endpoint has multiple periods in it, however, nothing seems to work.
I have tested with the WCF REST Contrib package (http://wcfrestcontrib.codeplex.com/), this example (http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/570695.aspx), and another StackOverflow post (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/355165/how-to-remove-thie-svc-extension-in-restful-wcf-service).
This works great when my endpoint is something like this:
Echo.svc
It will properly remove the SVC extension.
Any ideas on how to handle endpoints with multiple periods in the endpoint name?
EDIT: After some further testing, I found out that it is failing because whenever you do:
string path = HttpContext.Current.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;
If the endpoint contains multiple periods, it strips off everything after the endpoint causing all of the standard IHttpModule's to fail.
Example:
If I call http://localhost/services/Echo/test, my relative app file path has a returned value of:
~/echo/test
However, if I make a call as http://localhost/services/System.Security.User/test, then my relative app file path has a returned value of:
~/system.security.user
I am missing the '/test' on the end in that situation.
