Title Body

I've come across a weird problem in my MVC4 (RC) application. (running on .NET 4.0) I have just setup Elmah for logging exceptions / errors. I basically installed the Elmah.MVC and elmah.sqlserver NuGet packages. (versions 2.0.0 and 1.2 respectively) It seemed to work fine out of the box - I can go to the elmah page and view errors: http://myserver/elmah for example, if I create some 404 errors, they appear in this log. What is not working is this: I have a standard MVC controller with a [HttpPost] action. I've set it up so it will always throw an exception: public class TestController : Controller { [HttpPost] [ValidateInput(false)] public void Testing() { throw new Exception("uh oh"); } } I then try to post data to this controller via jQuery: $.post('/Test/Testing', {test_data: 'This is some test data'}); Ok, this works. The response returns the typical yellow screen of death, and the error is caught and logged in Elmah. However, if I try to post something like XML/HTML the error is not logged in Elmah. I still get the same response from the server back (yellow screen of death), but nothing in Elmah. $.post('/Test/Testing', {test_data: '<test><test1>This is some test data</test1></test>'}); Why? It doesn't make sense. Notice I have already turned off the request validation on the action. If I didn't do that, then posting XML/HTML data would cause this exception: A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client NuGet would also refuse to log that exception too - which I believe is a bug: http://code.google.com/p/elmah/issu
