by the URL resource. Useful to obtain metainformation about the entity implied by the request without transferring the entity-body itself. Often used to test hypertext links for validity, accessibility, and recent modification. POST: Submit data to the Web server such as 1) post a message to a bulletin board, newsgroup or mailing list, 2) provide input data - typically from a CGI form http error 405 apache - to a data-handling process, 3) add a record directly to a database. PUT: Set (place/replace) the data for a particular URL to the new data submitted by the client. For example, upload a new Web page to a server. DELETE: Remove the data associated with the URL resource. For example, delete a Web page. TRACE: Run a remote, application-layer loop-back of the request message. Effectively a 'ping' which tests what data the Web server is receiving from the client. CONNECT: Reserved for use with tunneling (e.g. SSL) via a proxy server. This method is defined only for HTTP version 1.1, not the earlier version 1.0. All Web servers can be configured to allow or disallow any method. For example if a Web server is 'read-only' (no client can modify URL resources on the Web server), then it could be set up to disallow the PUT and DELETE methods. Similarly if there is no user input (all the Web pages are static), then the POST method could be disallowed. So 405 errors can arise because the Web server is not configured to take data from the clien
response. 10.1 Informational 1xx This class of status code indicates a provisional response, consisting only of the Status-Line and optional headers, and https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html is terminated by an empty line. There are no required headers for http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19162825/web-api-put-request-generates-an-http-405-method-not-allowed-error this class of status code. Since HTTP/1.0 did not define any 1xx status codes, servers MUST NOT send a 1xx response to an HTTP/1.0 client except under experimental conditions. A client MUST be prepared to accept one or more 1xx status responses prior to a regular http error response, even if the client does not expect a 100 (Continue) status message. Unexpected 1xx status responses MAY be ignored by a user agent. Proxies MUST forward 1xx responses, unless the connection between the proxy and its client has been closed, or unless the proxy itself requested the generation of the 1xx response. (For example, if a http error 405 proxy adds a "Expect: 100-continue" field when it forwards a request, then it need not forward the corresponding 100 (Continue) response(s).) 10.1.1 100 Continue The client SHOULD continue with its request. This interim response is used to inform the client that the initial part of the request has been received and has not yet been rejected by the server. The client SHOULD continue by sending the remainder of the request or, if the request has already been completed, ignore this response. The server MUST send a final response after the request has been completed. See section 8.2.3 for detailed discussion of the use and handling of this status code. 10.1.2 101 Switching Protocols The server understands and is willing to comply with the client's request, via the Upgrade message header field (section 14.42), for a change in the application protocol being used on this connection. The server will switch protocols to those defined by the response's Upgrade header field immediately after the empty line which terminates the 101 response. The protoco

Here's contactUri: Here's contactUri.PathAndQuery: And finally, here's my 405 response: Here's the WebApi.config in my Web API project: public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config) { config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApi", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}", defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional } ); config.Routes.MapHttpRoute( name: "DefaultApiGet", routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{regionId}", defaults: new { action = "Get" }, constraints: new { httpMethod = new HttpMethodConstraint("GET") }); var json = config.Formatters.JsonFormatter; json.SerializerSettings.PreserveReferencesHandling = Newtonsoft.Json.PreserveReferencesHandling.Objects; config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.XmlFormatter); I've tried stripping down the path that gets passed into PutAsJsonAsync to string.Format("/api/department/{0}", department.Id) and string.Format("http://localhost/CallCOPAPI/api/department/{0}", department.Id) with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas why I'm getting the 405 error? UPDATE As per request, here's my Department controller code (I will post both the Department controller code for my front end project, as well as the Department ApiController code for the WebAPI): Front End Department Controller namespace CallCOP.Controllers { public class DepartmentController : Controller { HttpClient client = new HttpClient(); HttpResponseMessage response = new HttpResponseMessage(); Uri contactUri = null; public DepartmentController() { // set base address of WebAPI depending on your current environment client.BaseAddress = new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[string.Format("APIEnvBaseA
