Question

I am trying to use jQuery ajax to send a json object to a specified url using POST method.
But when I run the code the firebug shows the error as Error 501 method POST not supported
Here is my code

$.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/data/' + name + ".json",
            contentType: 'text/json',
            data: {"name": "XYZ",
                   "city": "ABC"
                  },
            dataType: 'json',
            success: function (msg) {
                alert("sucessful");
            }
});

I also tried “PUT” method but no luck.
Any idea or alternate option for this???

Actually I am running a simple python HTTP server on my local machine

So you need to need to reconfigure it (if it can handle POST) or choose another server
