Getting 404 for PUT and DELETE request on web.api

Hi
I am quite new with asp.net MVC. Recently I started playing arround with web api and came accross some strange errors. When I create new project(ASP.NET MVC 4 Web application -> WEB API), and I try to access the values controller via fiddler the PUT and DELETE methods dot't work - I get 404 not found. When I experimented with the problem I found out that this only occurs when I choose .net 4.5 framework(I use visual studio 11 RC). When the application uses .net 4.0 put and delete methods work normally. The only work-around I found so far is to create the application and choose .net 4.0 and once the project is created change the target framework to 4.5.

DId anybody else had similar problems and found a solution. Can anybody replicate my problem?

Any advice will be appreciated.

I have same problem. And I can not find the right solution for me because I'm using IIS6 but if you have newer version check out http://geekswithblogs.net/michelotti/archive/2011/05/28/resolve-404-in-iis-express-for-put-and-delete-verbs.aspx
