  Form data always empty in ASP.NET MVC application inside subdomain

  Jul 02, 2020 07:39 AM|LightAndrek|LINK

  I have two Asp.Net MVC Websites with two different Asp.Net MVC applications running on the same machine. The first one is inside the root domain domain.com, and the second one is a subdomain sub.domain.com.

  Everything works fine inside the root domain, but I'm having trouble submitting forms to every controller on the subdomain using POST. Whatever I try to send seems never to get to the controller.

  It may seem strange but this problem does not happen when I try to start the application locally in debug mode. (locally is not a subdomain, just plain localhost).

  Just for testing purposes I've build a simple model:

  public class TestModel
  {
      public string test_text { get; set; }
  }

  This is the CSHTML partial view:

  @using (Html.BeginForm("TryModel", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { }))
  {
      <input type="text" name="test_text" />
      <button type="submit">Test</button>
  }

  And this is the test controller:

      [HttpGet]
      public ActionResult TryModel()
      {
          return View();
      }
  
      [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult TryModel(TestModel model)
      {
          // code removed
  
          return View(model);
      }

  Even with this simple configuration, on my local copy I've no problem, but as soon as I start the application on the remote machine, the posted data is always empty.

  I already tried changing the model name and type (using FormCollection), but the data is always empty.

  What do you think could be the problem?

  I would do a network trace to see the post data and any redirects.

  You do it from the computer with the browser. You care about what the browser sees.
