Building a REST service in MVC .NET

This article got me started on the right track to implement a REST service in MVC:
http://iwantmymvc.com/rest-service-mvc3


One thing i think could be done more straightforward than in the examples is the switching on Http method. Instead of creating a filter to add a parameter to the method call i use the HttpMethod property of the Request object wich is available in you controller.

Code Snippet

35. [Authorize]
36. [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Delete|HttpVerbs.Get)]
37. public ActionResult activities(Guid id) {
38.     switch (Request.HttpMethod)
39.     {
40.         case "GET":
41.             return Json(new ActivityViewModel());
42.         case "DELETE":
43.             return Json(true);
44.     }
45.     return Json(new { Error = true, Message = "Unsupported HTTP verb" });
46. }

A fresh start
