OData V4 REST using GUID primary key - rest

Question

all! I am using OData v4 building REST services. My tables have a GUID primary key.
My GET and POST requests are working fine. But the PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests fail with 404.
I am not sure what the url should look like. I've tried these in Fiddler, all getting the 404. I have googled this quite a bit with no luck.
http://localhost/ershubrest/AppVersions/guid'00000000-e90f-4938-b8f6-000000000000'
http://localhost/ershubrest/AppVersions/'00000000-e90f-4938-b8f6-000000000000'
http://localhost/ershubrest/AppVersions/00000000-e90f-4938-b8f6-000000000000
Here is the code for my controller...

return StatusCode(HttpStatusCode.NoContent);
}
// clean up
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

}
}
}

Answer 1

The request URL for PATCH, PUT and DELETE should be:
http://localhost/ershubrest/AppVersions(00000000-e90f-4938-b8f6-000000000000)
OData is using parenthesizes for addressing single entities using keys.
For more URL conventions, the OData V4 URL convention spec can be referred to: http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/odata/v4.0/os/part2-url-conventions/odata-v4.0-os-part2-url-conventions.html

Answer 2

Try this:
http://localhost/ershubrest/AppVersions(guid'00000000-e90f-4938-b8f6-000000000000')
That should work!!

Answer 3

Odata V1-3 : http://localhost/ershubrest/AppVersions(guid'00000000-e90f-4938-b8f6-000000000000')
Odata V4 : http://localhost/ershubrest/AppVersions(00000000-e90f-4938-b8f6-000000000000)
I've tested Odata for 2 days
I ensure that !
