Unable to get ASP.Net controller to process JSON posted data -

i using asp.net 4.5 , have following controller.

    public class accountcontroller : controller {     //     // post: /account/jsonlogin      [system.web.mvc.allowanonymous]     [system.web.mvc.httppost]     public jsonresult login(logindto loginrequest)     {         if ( loginrequest.email == null )             throw new httpresponseexception(new httpresponsemessage(httpstatuscode.unauthorized));         return null;     } } 

here dto

    public class logindto {     public string email { get; set; }     public string password { get; set; }     public boolean rememberme { get; set; } } 

based on fiddler being posted service

post host/account/login http/1.1 host: host connection: keep-alive content-length: 71 accept: application/json, text/javascript, */*; q=0.01 origin: clientdifferentthanhost user-agent: mozilla/5.0 (windows nt 6.1; wow64) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, gecko)     chrome/27.0.1453.116 safari/537.36 content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=utf-8 referer:clientdifferentthanhost/? accept-encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch accept-language: en-us,en;q=0.8  {"email":"keith@kssoftware.net","password":"afasdf","rememberme":false} 

i expect asp.net convert json c# object instead data in loginrequest null (except boolean has default value of false)

here javascript using

    this.login = function () {     var dto = json.stringify({email:"test@test.com",password:"avafa",rememberme:false});     $.ajax({         url: app.homeurl + "account/login",         data: dto,         success: self.loginsuccess,         processdata: false,         type: "post",         datatype: "json",         traditional: true         }).fail(self.loginfail)     ; }; 

when try set contenttype: "application/json; charset=utf-8" request never makes service. assume bug in thinktecture.idenitymodel cross-origin package i'm using try figure out once can work. appreciated. have gotten work in past , i'm sure need second set of eyes help.

using fiddler i've been able pass following

content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8 referer: http://localhost:8900/ accept-encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch accept-language: en-us,en;q=0.8  {"loginrequest":[{"email":"test@test.com","password":"avafa","rememberme":false}]} 

still no values processed correctly

looks issue contenttype has = "application/json; charset=utf-8" moved service same origin , changed contenttype , worked expected.

will investigate why contenttype change causing issues thinktecture
