Background

I have an MVC Application with a WebAPI component. I'm using jQuery and AJAX to pass and receive data from the WebAPI. I rely on the Application_BeginRequest being fired during each call to perform some mundane task.

Problem

Application_BeginRequest always fires for GET and POST calls to the WebAPI. However, when I make PUT call to the WebAPI, the Application_BeginRequest does not fire, causing the application to not run the task. The PUT call is actually received, because the corresponding method in the controller is being executed.

I have PUT enabled in my web.config file (below). How do I enable PUT method calls to trigger the Application_BeginRequest method?

Note : Application_BeginRequest fires for PUT calls when using IIS Express, but not when using the full version of IIS.
