400 bad request when access ASP.net web api via computer name on IISExpress

Question

I'm getting a 400 bad request error message when accessing an ASP.net web api via a url that uses the computer name. When I use localhost it works fine. I'm using the iisExpress for visual studio 2012.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

I found the answer to this from another post on here. I had to update my IISExpress' applicationhost.config file and add a binding with my computer name on it.
