Supposedly if there are no verbs applied it defaults to HttpPost, so even though you didn't specify a verb, one does exist.

It won't fail because he's suggesting calling that with HttpGet as the verb. Syntactically it's correct, but is not good practice.
I guess part of the answer is that historically, the HTTP verb played a more important part. Languages / frameworks were less flexible (or stricter?). There remain some practicalities - if you want to upload a 50Mb file, you don't want to use HttpGet because that would require the payload to be in the URL, and Http doesn't support URLs of that length. Your webserver may handle different verbs very differently, but where we're using IIS we can have ASP.Net handle different verbs - or ignore certain verbs - just how we want. For example, by default, IIS won't let you invoke a .ASMX webservice via HttpGet - but you can make a trivial change in web.config to allow it.
From RFC2616[^], part of the HTTP1.1 definition:
Quote: In particular, the convention has been established that the GET and HEAD methods SHOULD NOT have the significance of taking an action other than retrieval. These methods ought to be considered "safe". This allows user agents to represent other methods, such as POST, PUT and DELETE, in a special way, so that the user is made aware of the fact that a possibly unsafe action is being requested.
Interestingly, the implication is that the end user is aware of the HTTP verbs being used in an interaction - again, a throwback to a time when internet use was the preserve of techs working at protocol level.
In short, then, the answer to the original question is simply: it's convention.

It will. The verbs are used as part of the routing subsystem which maps requests to actions. Requesting an action called "DoSomething" that is marked as HttpDelete with a GET request is (to the routing system) no different to requesting an action called "DoSomethingElse" when no action with that name exists. If it can't map the request to an action you get a 404.

Kevin said: public class MyController : ApiController
{
[HttpGet]
public void DoSomething(int id)
{
MyBL myBL = new MyBL();
myBl.DeleteARecord(Id);
}
}
I've marked the method with [HttpGet], yet called a Delete method on the BL.
"DoSomething" is marked up for HttpGet and he says he's calling it with HttpGet. In his method DoSomething he calls a business layer method myBL.DeleteARecord(Id) but for all we know that is just counting apples.
OR - and this may be the case, I don't do MVC so maybe it's a .Net restriction (as opposed to an HTTP restriction) - will it not allow you to have a void method decorated with HttpGet? (In which case it shouldn't even compile).
There are two parts to an answer to Kevin's question - firstly, why does HTTP need verbs; then secondly, why does ASP.Net need to reference them? From my WebForms / web service background, I've never had to deal with HTTP verbs, other than (in some cases) allowing .ASMX services to be called from a GET request (which was done purely for the benefit of a 3rd party, to make testing simpler for them). Re-reading the original post, I think Kevin's more concerned with why ASP.Net MVC needs the markup, to which the answer is that it's used for mapping the request to the method.

Correct, I misread the post and have posted an update

Looking back I misread this so I can see where the confusion has come from. I thought you said you were calling it with a DELETE verb which is why I said it wouldn't work, that was my mistake I didn't realise you were saying that you were calling a delete method in the code. So yes you're right, that code would work, but you then enter the semantic convention debate again and could say that if your method's purpose is to delete something it should be marked with HttpDelete, and then you wouldn't be able to call it with GET.
Apologies for the confusion, that was a mistake on my part

Hi, I have some image validation code in python that's "working", but it corrupts the uploaded image every time. I'm using Pillow to open and validate file size and format, but I think it's causing the issue because when I remove all of my code that uses this library, the upload works without issues. The code is as follows, where image.data is the image data from a Werkzeug filestorage instance:
image = Image.open(image.data)
if image.format == "PNG":
image.verify()
I save the image directly from the filestorage instance. I don't know why Pillow is corrupting the image and I need help fixing this or I need recommendations for different libraries I could use to validate the image.

<pre>Hi, can someone please help me with a task that I am struggling with.
I need to create a React app that:
○ Contains a Dropdown that allows a user to select which functionality
they want to use on my site. The options should be ‘Currency
converter’ and ‘Win!’.
○ Contains a component that converts currencies. This component
should be displayed when the user selects ‘Currency converter’ from
the Dropdown. The user should be able to enter a figure in dollars
and the app should calculate and display the amount in South
African Rands, UK pounds and Euros. The components that display
the converted values should be children of the conversion
component.</pre>

Don't you think you were given this assignment to learn how to do it?
They don't give you assignments that you can just knock out in a few minutes - they give you assignments that will make you extend what you should have already learned.
A question to ask yourself: if you are already looking for someone to do the "hard work" for you, what will you do as more difficult levels of programming arise? Maybe you should go into a field more suited to your personality and abilities

So when i use the mailto it will change the page to write the email.
But i want the user to open that in a new tab and have the possibility to change their email and not only use the default email that is on user's browser.
this is what i have:
<a href="mailto:myemail@gmail.com">myemail@gmai.com</a>
is possible to do that with mailto?
|
|
|
|

Although this is possible, but this would give a rather poor UX to the users; I would highly recommend that you just use the mailto prefix and let the user handle how they wish to send their email. This is easy, and beautiful in terms of UX/UI.
If you want to control this, then prevent the browser from handling the mailto link, this would mean that you need to control the click-event on the mailto hyperlink and then you also need to manage:
- Opening a new tab for the user
- Managing the actions of the user in that new tab
- Closing the tab after they are done
Which is a lot cumbersome. Any specific reasons to do this, so that we may help you better?

I have 2 pages. 1st is the index.php that have 3 fields. 2 of them should saved to sql and its works fine and the 3rd one should pass the value to 2nd screen. I have JS file. I success doing these 2 operations successfuly but in seperated projects. When I am trying to make them together there are mistakes. I want to know How can I implement those 2 parts together please.

One thing I see right away: your 2nd.php form submit's to index.php but the values you pass from the form are never looked for in index.php.
So what's the point of that interaction?

I created an Asp.Net Core Web API project. By default it comes with a "WeatherForecastController". I run the app at "https://localhost:44368/weatherforecast", a browser opens, and I get JSON back. All's fine.
Next, I added a controller called Test with code to call my DAL (See code below) and when I try "[https://localhost:44368/Test/GetAll] I get a Not Found. . What's the right way to call these methods on the controller? Is there some routing config that I need?
[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class TestController : _ControllerBase
{
[HttpPost]
public int Add(TestDataEntity entity)
{
try
{
IRepository repo = GetRepository<TestDataRepository>();
return repo.Add(entity);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw;
}
}
[HttpDelete]
public void Delete(int id)
{
try
{
IRepository repo = GetRepository<TestDataRepository>();
repo.Delete(id);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw;
}
}
[HttpGet]
public TestDataEntity Get(int id)
{
try
{
IRepository repo = GetRepository<TestDataRepository>();
return repo.Get(id);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw;
}
}
[HttpGet]
public List<TestDataEntity> GetAll()
{
try
{
IRepository repo = GetRepository<TestDataRepository>();
return repo.GetMany();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw;
}
}
[HttpPost]
public void Update(TestDataEntity entity)
{
try
{
IRepository repo = GetRepository<TestDataRepository>();
repo.Update(entity);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
throw;
}
}
}
When I run this

I've just tried this simpler version:
[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class TestController : ControllerBase
{
private static readonly string[] Values =
{
"Foo", "Bar", "Baz"
};
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<string> GetAll() => Summaries;
[HttpGet]
public string Get(int index) => Summaries[index];
} With that, I get an ambiguous match exception:
The request matched multiple endpoints. Matches:
TestCoreApi.Controllers.TestController.GetAll (TestCoreApi)
TestCoreApi.Controllers.TestController.Get (TestCoreApi) After changing the route on the Get method, it works as expected:
[HttpGet("{id:int}")]
public string Get(int index) => Summaries[index];

I am making php page.
In my php page, exit() function calls in serveral places and i declared sqlite3::open() function in first line of php.

You need to redesign your page.

Detail of what? We have no idea what your code does or why. It is up tp you to review it and figure out why you have all these exit calls, and why you are leaving open databases if the code terminates.
