405 Method Not Allowed - with HTTP POST to .aspx page

Question

Friday, May 1, 2015 10:33 AM

Dear friends,

I am working with IIS 7.0 and have an ASP.NET website that is working well.

I can browse the pages in the browser and it seems to be configured fine.

I need to POST some data to a page in this application from outside the browser by creating an HTTP POST request.

I am getting a 405 Method Not Allowed Error.

The page is a simple HTML page named with .aspx extension

SimpleFile.aspx

<html>
<body>
<p>Hello</p>
</body>
</html>

Here is what I have tried so far:

a) First I tried to POST directly to this page and got the 405 Method Not Allowed Error

b) I tried to create a virtual directory with read, write, execute permissions

c) I went to the "Handler Mappings" options

    there are two handlers associated with the .aspx Extension:

    i)  PageHandlerFactory-Integrated 

    ii) PageHandlerFactory-ISAPI-2.0

    I checked the "Request Restrictions" --> VERBS --> POST is there

d) I have a web.config file in the directory with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<handlers accessPolicy="Read, Execute, Script">
<remove name="PageHandlerFactory-Integrated" />
<add name="PageHandlerFactory-Integrated" path="*.aspx" verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="integratedMode" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

     

Currently there are other applications accessing this directory

Hi,

I suggest that you can check other handlers like webdav, ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit. In addition, we can enable Failed request tracing to troubleshoot more detailed messages.
