Question

i setup the ProtoRPC hello app and it doesn’t work i’m using this to post to it

$.ajax({url: "http://wordninjabackend.appspot.com/hello",
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: "{ my_name: Bob }",
dataType: 'json',
success: function(response) {
    // The response is { hello: “Hello there, Bob!” }
        alert(response.hello);
    }
});

and i’m geting: 405 Method Not Allowed

app.yaml

application: wordninjabackend
version: 1
api_version: 1
runtime: python

handlers:
- url: .*
script: main.py

Alright it is python on app engine, its just the sample program so it has to be something wrong with my post to the server

With protorpc, it expects the remote method name in your HelloService to be on the url you post to.

If you’re using this code to register the service mapping,

# Map the RPC service and path (/hello)
    app = service.service_mappings([('/hello.*', HelloService)])

then you need to change your post url to this:

http://wordninjabackend.appspot.com/hello.hello

The extra “.hello” refers to the method “hello” in the HelloService class. If you rename that method to fred, you’ll also need to change that to .fred

For more on how this works, just read further down the page, where they develop PostService for the guestbook application.
