Hi

I have found this interesting sets of articles on Rest.

http://blogs.msdn.com/b/endpoint/archive/2010/01/06/introducing-wcf-webhttp-services-in-net-4.aspx

So I thought I would try to implement this in Umbraco. The routing is supposed to be performed in Application_Start

in Global.asax. I saw somewhere that in Umbraco you could do that creatin a class inheriting from 

umbraco.BusinessLogic.ApplicationBase.

[AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode =    AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]    
public class MsServiceRouter : umbraco.BusinessLogic.ApplicationBase
{        
    public MsServiceRouter()        
    {
        Helper.LogCustom("PaulS.MsServiceRouter.ctor called");           
     RegisterRoutes();        
   }
    private void RegisterRoutes()
    {
        Helper.LogCustom("PaulS.MsService.RegisterRoutes called");
       RouteTable.Routes.Add(new ServiceRoute("MsService", new          WebServiceHostFactory(),   typeof(MsService)));
        }
}

To ensure that it gets called I have added some logging - logs into UmbracoLog table. 

This has been added to my web.config

<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true">
  <baseAddressPrefixFilters>
          <add prefix="http://localhost:8080" />
   </baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>
<standardEndpoints>
   <webHttpEndpoint>
            <!-- 
              Configure the WCF REST service base address via the global.asax.cs file 
       and the default endpoint  via the attributes on the <standardEndpoint> element below
       -->
            <standardEndpoint name="" helpEnabled="true"          automaticFormatSelectionEnabled="true">
             <security>
               <transport proxyCredentialType="None" />
              </security>
         </standardEndpoint>
      </webHttpEndpoint>
</standardEndpoints>

To avoid Umbraco doing anything to my service calls I also added MsService to the umbracoReservedPaths

    <add key="umbracoReservedPaths" value="~/umbraco,~/install/,~/MsService/" />

My problem is that when I call 

http://localhost:83/msservice/help

I get

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

The service works fine when placed outside Umbraco.

 - So where is my call disappearing?

Thanks
