HTTP Error 400 : The request verb is invalid in IIS 8.5
I have hosted ASP NET 4.5 application in Windows Server 2012 R2 (IIS Version 8.5.9600.16384). But once in a while I am getting an error like Bad Request - Invalid Verb HTTP Error 400. The request verb is invalid while going from one page to another. There is no special sequence or specific page where I am getting this error.
httperr log file shows me an error like
2015-01-21 04:48:18 MyIP 55452 ServerIP 80 - - - 400 - Verb -
2015-01-21 04:48:20 MYIP 55454 SerevrIP 80 - - - 400 - Verb -
I checked this post http://support.microsoft.com/kb/828726 but here it is applicable for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0. Can I do this hotfix for iis 8.5 as well. I have searched about this issue over the internet but could not get substantial information. So, can anyone help me resolve this issue.
Using Fiddler I got the Raw Data of the request as

Any help would be appreciated.
Answer
Try adding
EnableViewState="false"
to your aspx page. It looks like Chrome adds the viewstate where IIS expects the request verb.
