RegisterHttpRequestMessage fails with Azure App Service Mobile App about autofac.webapi HOT 4 CLOSED

Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I don't generally work on Azure apps so I had to set up an environment. I think I figured out the issue while I was working through the demo mobile services app.

Try using the Autofac.WebApi2 package instead of Autofac.WebApi. There were some breaking changes when MS revised Web API so we had to issue a corresponding package, the latest version of which (right now) is 3.4.0. I was able to successfully register the HttpRequestMessage in the demo app without issue using that package.

I'm going to close this since I'm pretty sure that's the answer. If it is still not working, let me know and maybe post a repro so I can see it in action and we can re-open.

Three questions:

1. What framework are you targeting? .NET 4.5? DNX? .NET 4.6?
2. I see the Autofac.Integration.WebApi assembly version number is 3.0.0.0 in the error. 3.1.0.0 came out in July 2013. Have you tried updating? (Not promising that will fix it, just curious if running the latest bits will help.)
3. What other packages do you have installed? Can we see your packages.config?

Thanks for your reply.

1. .NET framework 4.5
2. Actually the Autofac.Integration.WebApi is labeled 3.1.0 in packages.config, and it's the latest available in NuGet manager The solution is rather new, I created it 1 week ago.
   3.packages.config

In my project, in the references, i just realized that the version of Autofac.Integration.WebApi in the properties panel is 3.0.0.0.
In the nuget package that was installed, in the lib folder, there is only one folder "net40". Is it normal ?
