I have a html page that posts to another html page. Both pages load fine, but when I post the form on the first page to the second I get a 405 – Method Not Allowed error. I use IIS 7 to run the site on a windows machine.
This is the page that posts to the second page
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Form Post</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="/test/form_fetch.html">
<input type="hidden" name="hidtest" value="works"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
This is the second page
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Error details:
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.
- Module: StaticFileModule
- Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler
- Handler: StaticFile
- Error Code: 0x80070001
The StaticFile Handler is already set to be able to deal with all verbs, but it still doesn’t work.
This is a server configuration issue. Nothing in the document will affect the HTTP Status code of the response.
The server has been set to reject POST requests to that URI.
