SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) 2005 - Put request

Question

Hi Microsoft Support Team,

I am currently working on a project where I need to upload images programmatically to an SSRS 2005 server using Python scripting. I have developed a script that successfully uploads images to the SSRS server. However, despite receiving a "successful upload" confirmation from the script, I am unable to locate the uploaded images within the SSRS interface or the designated storage location.

Additionally, I would appreciate any relevant documentation, references, or insights you can provide regarding image uploads and supported HTTP methods in SSRS 2005.

Best Regards,

Xin

Answer 1

SSRS 2005 does not support PUT requests for image uploads. The HTTP 405 error message you received indicates that the PUT method is not allowed for the URL. According to the Microsoft documentation, the HTTP PUT method is not supported in SSRS 2005. However, you can upload images to the SSRS server using other methods such as the HTTP POST method. You can also upload images to the server by using the Report Manager or the Report Server Web service. For more information on supported HTTP methods in SSRS, please refer to the Microsoft documentation.

Answer 2

I am currently working with SSRS 2005

First, SSRS 2005 is out-of-support since a very long time.

Second, SSRS 2005 has a SOAP web service, you can not use simple Http(s) request, you have to use a SOAP client.
