`[HttpPost]` is shorthand for `[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]`.  The only difference is that you can&#39;t use `[HttpGet, HttpPost]` (and similar) together on the same action.  If you want an action to respond to both GETs and POSTs, you must use `[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get | HttpVerbs.Post)]`.

Nothing.  One is just shorthand for the other.

Developing an iPad website I tried to use the CSS property `overflow: auto` to get the scrollbars if needed in a `div`, but my device is refusing to show them even if the two fingers scroll is working.

I tried with

    overflow: auto;

and

    overflow: scroll;

and the result is the same.

I&#39;m only testing on an iPad (on desktop browsers works perfectly). 

Any ideas?

I can decorate an action either with the [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]/[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)] 

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult Create(string title)
    {

or with the [HttpPost]/[HttpGet] attributes

    [HttpPost]

    {
        // Do Something...
    }

Are they different?

I can pass a variable from MVC ASP.NET by using this : 

    var lastCategoryId = &#39;&lt;%=Model.CS.LastSelectedCategory %&gt;&#39;;

This work fine with string or integer but how do I do with an array of strings? I have tried to pass the array the same way but the variable is set to System.String[] ?

Although I have read the documentation on Html.HiddenFor, I&#39;ve not grasped what is it used for...

Could somebody explain its uses and give a short example?

Where should those helpers go in the code?

What is the best way to retrieve the display name attribute for an item in your model? I see a lot of people using the LabelFor helper for everything, but a label isn&#39;t appropriate if I just want to list the data out. Is there an easy way just get the Name Attribute if I just want to print it out in, say a paragraph?

Get DisplayName Attribute without using LabelFor Helper in asp.net MVC

I am using the default asp.net MVC 2 syntax to construct TextBox&#39;s which are integer or decimal for my asp.net MVC web app:

    &lt;%: Html.TextBoxFor(model =&gt; model.Loan.InterestRate) %&gt;

pretty straight forward, but the problem is inherently of the fact my binding model objects are decimal or int and non-nullable, they print their value as zero (0) on page load if my model is empty (such as in add mode for a CRUD template) and zero is an incorrect value and is invalid for my page validation also.

How could I have textboxes which have no starting value, just an empty textbox, I understand zero is a potential value, but I only accept values greater than zero anyway, so this is not a problem for me.

I even tried casting as a nullable decimal and also a non-for helper (which is not ideal), but alas, I am still receiving the default &#39;0&#39; value. any ideas??

    &lt;%: Html.TextBox(&quot;Loan.InterestRate&quot;, Model.Loan.InterestRate == 0 ? 
        (decimal?)null : Model.Loan.InterestRate) %&gt;


Html.TextboxFor default value for Integer/Decimal to be Empty instead of 0

In trying to get my application to produce 404 errors correctly, I have implemented a catch all route at the end of my route table, as shown below:

     routes.MapRoute(
                &quot;NotFound&quot;, _
               &quot;{*url}&quot;, _
               New With {.controller = &quot;Error&quot;, .action = &quot;PageNotFound&quot;} _
           )

However, to get this working, I had to remove the default route:

    {controller}/action/{id}

But now that the default has been removed, most of my action links no longer work, and the only way I have found to get them working again is to add individual routes for each controller/action. 

Is there a simpler way of doing this, rather than adding a route for each controller/action? 

Is it possible to create a default route that still allows the catch all route to work if the user tries to navigate to an unknown route?

ASP.NET MVC - Catch All Route And Default Route

OK, I have been hearing discussion about &quot;ViewModels&quot; in regards to MS&#39;s ASP.NET MVC.

Now, that is intended to be a specific kind of Model, correct?  Not a specific kind of View.

To my understanding, it&#39;s a kind of Model that has a specific purpose of interacting with the View?  Or something like that?

Some clarification would be appreciated.

ASP.NET MVC Model vs ViewModel

I have implemented in my app the mitigation to [CSRF attacks][1] following the informations that I have read on some blog post around the internet. In particular these post have been the driver of my implementation

 - [Best Practices for ASP.NET MVC][2] from the ASP.NET and Web Tools Developer Content Team
 - [Anatomy of a Cross-site Request Forgery Attack][3] from Phil Haack blog
 - [AntiForgeryToken in the ASP.NET MVC Framework - Html.AntiForgeryToken and ValidateAntiForgeryToken Attribute][4] from David Hayden blog

Basically those articles and recommendations says that to prevent the CSRF attack anybody should implement the following code:

1) Add the `[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]` on every action that accept the POST Http verb

    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public ActionResult SomeAction( SomeModel model ) {
    }

2) Add the `&lt;%= Html.AntiForgeryToken() %&gt;` helper inside forms that submits data to the server

    &lt;div style=&quot;text-align:right; padding: 8px;&quot;&gt;
        &lt;%= Html.AntiForgeryToken() %&gt;
        &lt;input type=&quot;submit&quot; id=&quot;btnSave&quot; value=&quot;Save&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

Anyway in some parts of my app I am doing Ajax POSTs with jQuery to the server without having any form at all. This happens for example where I am letting the user to click on an image to do a specific action. 

Suppose I have a table with a list of activities. I have an image on a column of the table that says &quot;Mark activity as completed&quot; and when the user click on that activity I am doing the Ajax POST as in the following sample:

    $(&quot;a.markAsDone&quot;).click(function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            type: &quot;post&quot;,
            dataType: &quot;html&quot;,
            url: $(this).attr(&quot;rel&quot;),
            data: {},
            success: function (response) {
                // ....
            }
        });
    });

How can I use the `&lt;%= Html.AntiForgeryToken() %&gt;` in these cases? Should I include the helper call inside the data parameter of the Ajax call?

Sorry for the long post and thanks very much for helping out

**EDIT**:

As per [jayrdub][5] answer I have used in the following way

    $(&quot;a.markAsDone&quot;).click(function (event) {
        event.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            type: &quot;post&quot;,
            dataType: &quot;html&quot;,
            url: $(this).attr(&quot;rel&quot;),
            data: {
                AddAntiForgeryToken({}),
                id: parseInt($(this).attr(&quot;title&quot;))
            },
            success: function (response) {
                // ....
            }
        });
    });

jQuery Ajax calls and the Html.AntiForgeryToken()

To my surprise, I can&#39;t do anything nearly as simple as this, from what I can tell, in the .NET BCL:

    byte[] response = Http.Post
    (
    	url: &quot;http://dork.com/service&quot;,
    	contentType: &quot;application/x-www-form-urlencoded&quot;,
    	contentLength: 32,
    	content: &quot;home=Cosby&amp;favorite+flavor=flies&quot;
    );

This hypothetical code above makes an HTTP POST, with data, and returns the response from a `Post` method on a static class `Http`.

Since we&#39;re left without something this easy, what&#39;s the next best solution?

How do I send an HTTP POST with data AND get the response&#39;s content?

How to process POST data in Node.js?

I&#39;m missing something here. I&#39;ve got this jQuery JavaScript:

    $.ajax({
    	type: &quot;POST&quot;,
    	url: &quot;/update-note-order&quot;,
    	dataType: &quot;json&quot;,
    	data: {
    		orderedIds: orderedIds,
    		unixTimeMs: new Date().getTime()
    	}
    });

Where `orderedIds` is a JavaScript number array (e.g. `var orderedIds = [1, 2]`).

The handling `Controller` method is:

    [HttpPost]
    public void UpdateNoteOrder(long[] orderedIds, long unixTimeMs)
    {
    	...
    }

When I put a `Debugger.Break()` in `UpdateNoteOrder()`, `orderedIds` is `null` in the Watch window. (`unixTimeMs`, however, has a numeric value.)

How do I pass the number array through `$.ajax()` such that `orderedIds` is a `long[]` in my controller?

jQuery Ajax POSTing array to ASP.NET MVC Controller

I am using JQuery ajax jsonp. I have got below **JQuery Code:**

            url: &quot;Login.aspx&quot;,  // Send the login info to this page
            data: str, 
            dataType: &quot;jsonp&quot;, 
            timeout: 200000,
            jsonp:&quot;skywardDetails&quot;,
            success: function(result)
            { 
                 // Show &#39;Submit&#39; Button
                $(&#39;#loginButton&#39;).show();
    
                // Hide Gif Spinning Rotator
                $(&#39;#ajaxloading&#39;).hide();  
             } 
           
        });  

The above code is working fine, I just want to send the request as **&quot;POST&quot;** instead of **&quot;GET&quot;**, Please suggest how can I achieve this.

Thanks           

How to use type: &quot;POST&quot; in jsonp ajax call

I want to test some URLs in a web application I&#39;m working on. For that I would like to manually create HTTP POST requests (meaning I can add whatever parameters I like).

Is there any functionality in Chrome and/or Firefox that I&#39;m missing?



How to manually send HTTP POST requests from Firefox or Chrome browser

I have a set of resources whose representations are lazily created. The computation to construct these representations can take anywhere from a few milliseconds to a few hours, depending on server load, the specific resource, and the phase of the moon.

The first GET request received for the resource starts the computation on the server. If the computation completes within a few seconds, the computed representation is returned. Otherwise, a 202 &quot;Accepted&quot; status code is returned, and the client must poll the resource until the final representation is available.

The reason for this behavior is the following: If a result is available within a few seconds, it needs to be retrieved as soon as possible; otherwise, when it becomes available is not important.

Due to limited memory and the sheer volume of requests, neither NIO nor long polling is an option (*i.e.* I can&#39;t keep nearly enough connections open, nor even can I even fit all of the requests in memory; once &quot;a few seconds&quot; have passed, I persist the excess requests). Likewise, client limitations are such that they cannot handle a completion callback, instead. Finally, note I&#39;m not interested in creating a &quot;factory&quot; resource that one POSTs to, as the extra roundtrips mean we fail the piecewise realtime constraint more than is desired (moreover, it&#39;s extra complexity; also, this is a resource that would benefit from caching).

I imagine there is some controversy over returning a 202 &quot;Accepted&quot; status code in response to a GET request, seeing as I&#39;ve never seen it in practice, and its most intuitive use is in response to unsafe methods, but I&#39;ve never found anything specifically discouraging it. Moreover, am I not preserving both safety and idempotency?

So, what do folks think about this approach?

__EDIT__: I should mention this is for a so-called business web API--not for browsers.

Is it wrong to return 202 &quot;Accepted&quot; in response to HTTP GET?

When you GET

   https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=%s

Is the `%s` query encrypted? Or just the response?
If it is not, why should Google serve its public content also with encryption?

How can I do an HTTP GET from a Un*x shell script on a stock OS X system? (installing third-party software is not an option, for this has to run on a lot of different systems which I don&#39;t have control on).

For example if I start the Mercurial server locally doing a *hg serve*:

    ... $ hg serve 

And then, from a Linux that has the *wget* command I do a wget:


    ... $  wget http://127.0.0.1:8000
    --2010-12-31 22:18:25--  http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    Connecting to 127.0.0.1:8000... connected.
    HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 Script output follows
    Length: unspecified [text/html]
    Saving to: `index.html

And on the terminal in which I launched the *&quot;hg serve&quot;* command, I can indeed see that an HTTP GET made its way:

    127.0.0.1 - - [30/Dec/2010 22:18:17] &quot;GET / HTTP/1.0&quot; 200 -

So on Linux one way to do an HTTP GET from a shell script is to use *wget* (if that command is installed of course).

What other ways are there to do the equivalent of a *wget*?  I&#39;m looking, in particular, for something that would work on stock OS X installs.

Writing image to local server

I want to be able to create a custom AngularJS service that makes an HTTP &#39;Get&#39; request when its data object is empty and populates the data object on success.

The next time a call is made to this service, I would like to bypass the overhead of making the HTTP request again and instead return the cached data object.

Is this possible?
