I have a basic asp.net self host app that makes use of the HttpConfiguration class and includes this route:

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "login",
    routeTemplate: "login",
    defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Get" }
);

i would like to define actions based on HTTP verbs included in the request instead of specified in the URL.

i.e.

curl http://domain/login -X GET

Should call the Get method on the LoginController class. And 

curl http://domain/login -X POST -H 'Content-Length: 1' -d 'x'

Should call the Post 'Post' method in the controller class. I have been able to test that the post request works if I adjust the route configuration to

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "login",
    routeTemplate: "login/{action}",
    defaults: new { controller = "Login", action = "Get" }
);

and then curl to:

curl http://domain/login/post -X POST -H 'Content-Length: 1' -d 'x'

But this is specifying the post verb in the http request and URI (which I would prefer not to do).
