To configure IIS to allow an ASP.NET app to receive and handle OPTIONS
requests, we have to add the following configuration to the app's web.config
file in the system.webServer
> handlers
section:
<system.webServer> <handlers> <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" /> <remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" /> <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" /> </handlers> </system.webServer>
Since the default ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0
module registration only allows GET
, HEAD
, POST
,
and DEBUG
requests with extensionless URLs. We will replace this module by first removing it and add with different attribute values to allow OPTIONS
requests to reach the app.
After making these configuration changes, if the application still not responding as expected then you need to check the IIS's Request Filtering
.
It might be the case that IIS disallows OPTIONS
verb at the root web application level.
- Open IIS Manager
- Click on root application
-
Click on
Request Filtering
-
If
OPTIONS
appears in list, remove that entry and re-add with withAllow Verb...
context menu option.
