I have a self hosted web api that has a controller with a Post action that takes a single string argument.

Model binding is failing to set the value of the argument and it's being passed null, even though the value is correct in the HttpContent object.

Below are a Controller and a test that reproduces the issue.

This bug was filled on codeplex: http://aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com/workitem/171
