I tried setting the response's reason phrase....both from the API Controller, as well as from a message handler. In noth cases, I don't see it in either the Fiddler or Chrome console. Is this a bug or is there something else I need to do to make this work?</p> <p></p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Priya</p> 2012-03-21T07:18:32-04:004890893http://forums.asp.net/p/1783046/4890893.aspx/1?Re+WebAPI+doesn+t+allow+setting+reason+phrase+ <p>Looks like its a Cassini issue....switching to IIS did the trick.</p> 2012-03-21T07:33:06-04:004891022http://forums.asp.net/p/1783046/4891022.aspx/1?Re+WebAPI+doesn+t+allow+setting+reason+phrase+ <p>Cassini is dead to me now.&nbsp; Long live IIS Express.</p> 2012-03-21T08:53:04-04:004891552http://forums.asp.net/p/1783046/4891552.aspx/1?Re+WebAPI+doesn+t+allow+setting+reason+phrase+ <p>Unfortunately in VS2010 SP1 you still need Cassini if you want to use the performance analysis tools, they don't work with IIS Express.</p> <p>Otherwise I agree IIS Express should be the norm on developer's desktops!</p> <p>Jay</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> 2012-03-21T12:42:18-04:00
