javascript - Web API - Reserved Word? -

**have simple web api:

webapiconfig.cs:

config.routes.maphttproute(     name: "defaultapi",     routetemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",     defaults: new { id = routeparameter.optional}); 

i can make calls web api calling via data service controller:

[httpget] public httpresponsemessage getusers(string id) {     var cl = _securityrepository.getusers(id);     return request.createresponse(httpstatuscode.ok, cl); } 

logic simple: searches db last names start last 3 letter in id

the call:

http://example.com/api/dataservice/getusers/lop

the results:

[   {     "userid": "dlopez",     "firstname": "don",     "lastname": "lopez",     "department": "information technology"   },   {     "userid": "sloper",     "firstname": "steve",     "lastname": "loper",     "department": "first services"   },   {     "userid": "dlopes",     "firstname": "davey",     "lastname": "lopes",     "department": "public info"   } ] 

it works great. yeah! however, in 1 circumstance resource cannot found error call:

http://example.com/api/dataservice/getusers/con

i can use id=can, cone, com, etc,... there no problems of api calls. work great. search on con -> resource cannot found! have clue? i'm lost.

yep, "con" reserved word , not allowed. workaround include following under <system.web> in web.config.

<httpruntime relaxedurltofilesystemmapping="true" /> 

taken this answer.
