Error message: 405 Method Not Allowed

Any ideas how to resolve error message '405 Method Not Allowed'?

Below is the script I am using to call the token method

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $.ajax({
                contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
                type: 'GET',
                url: 'rest/token?Username=admin&Password=XXX&Type=User',
                data: "",
                dataType: 'json',
                success: function (msg) {
                }
            });
        });
    </script>

Thanks

Hi Sean,

Please check the documentation for the Token service:

http://urest4umb.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Token&referringTitle=Documentation

Your main problem is that you are using a get request, when a Token request must be done via POST. Also, the request data, must be sent in JSON format, in the body of the POST request.

Details on the JSON format, and the required request formats are all on codeplex.

Many thanks

Matt

Hey Sean,

Sweet.

I think I definatley need to put a small demo project together for people, as your post is one of a couple where people are struggling to start. I'll add it to my list, and see if I can't get something out on my blog in the near future.

Cheers

Matt

I am getting this message also for a POST request.

This is my request (sent using jMeter):

{

"Name":"ProductName",

"DocTypeAlias":"document-alias"

}

[no cookies]

Request Headers:

Connection: keep-alive

Content-type: application/json

Accept: application/json

Content-Length: 72

Host: umbraco47.local

User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.2.3 (java 1.5)

Response:

IIS 7.5 Detailed Error - 405.0 - Method Not Allowed

Server Error in Application "UMBRACO47"

Internet Information Services 7.5

Error Summary

HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed

The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.

Detailed Error Information

Module	ManagedPipelineHandler
Notification	ExecuteRequestHandler
Handler	OpenRastaHandler
Error Code	0x00000000

Requested URL	http://umbraco47.local:80/rest/documents?auth_username=dafeza&auth_token=dfe24320457754b8fbf207614ee1f5abde462359
Physical Path	C:\Users\dafeza\Dropbox\Projects\umbraco47\rest\documents
Logon Method	Anonymous
Logon User	Anonymous

Most likely causes:

The request sent to the Web server used an HTTP verb that is not allowed by the module configured to handle the request.
A request was sent to the server that contained an invalid HTTP verb.
The request is for static content and contains an HTTP verb other than GET or HEAD.
A request was sent to a virtual directory using the HTTP verb POST and the default document is a static file that does not support HTTP verbs other than GET or HEAD.

Things you can try:

Verify the list of verbs enabled for the module handler this request was sent to, and ensure that this verb should be allowed for the Web site.
Check the IIS log file to see which verb is not allowed for the request.
Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
