ASP.NET Core form POST results in a HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type response
For forms, use the [FromForm] attribute instead of the [FromBody] attribute. The below controller works with ASP.NET Core 1.1: public class MyController : Controller { [HttpPost] public async Task<IActionResult> Submit([FromForm] MyModel model) { //… } } Note: [FromXxx] is required if your controller is annotated with [ApiController]. For normal view controllers it can be omitted.
