Question

I started to do some experimentation with iisnode and expressjs to create a REST like API with node.

So on the server.js I created something like

app.put("/test", function(req, res){
    ...
});

However, when I execute the PUT request I get a 405 Method not allowed from the IIS 7.5 installation.

Any idea on how to solve this?

BTW, I googled already and tried to add the PUT verbs here and there in the different Handler Mappings with no success…

I now finally found the solution to this problem namely the WebDavModule was blocking my PUT requests.

To resolve the issue:

1. Open your IIS Manager
2. Goto your application configuration and open “Modules”
3. Search WebDavModule and remove it (menu on the right)

It then worked for me.

Alternatively, in your application’s web.config add

<system.webServer>
    ...
    <modules>
       <remove name="WebDAVModule"/>
    </modules>
</system.webServer>
