HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed

405 Method Not Allowed

The server knows the target resource but does not allow the HTTP method used in the request.

405 Method Not Allowedconfiguration

Observed message

405 Method Not Allowed

Why it happens

  • The endpoint does not support the HTTP method used by the client.
  • Routing or server configuration blocks the method for that path.
  • The client is sending `POST`, `PUT`, `DELETE`, or another method to a resource that only allows specific verbs.

How to fix it

  1. Check which methods the endpoint is designed to support.
  2. Update client code to use the correct HTTP method for the resource.
  3. Review routing and server configuration if the endpoint should allow the method but currently does not.
