Surface Controllers and routing, 404

Extending Umbraco and using the API

Umbraco 7
I have this code for the sruface controller:
```
  namespace Project.Web.Controllers.Surface
  {
   public class UserProfileSurfaceController : SurfaceController
   {
      [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult TestAction()
      {
          return Content("Testcode");
      }
    }
  }
```
I'm trying to access this through the url http://localhost:51192/umbraco/Surface/UserProfileSurface/TestAction But get returned with a 404 page. Shouldn't it be possible to access the surface controller this way?

Hi Thomas,

You have to call like this "http://localhost:51192/UserProfileSurface/TestAction". When you want to call Action method from Ajax then you have to call with "/umbraco/Surface/UserProfileSurface/TestAction"

Hi Thomas,

I think this is because you marked your action with the [HttpPost] attribute. This means it's only available for POST request. When you try to access it through your browser that is a GET request. Try to remove the [HttpPost] attribute or replace it with the [HttpGet] attribute.

Thank you suman and Dave for your reply.

Dave, you where right, I overlooked that part about post vs get, and got the response I needed from directly calling it.
