SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED

[Paul Wetzel]

following is from javadoc for HttpServletResponse:
SC_METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED
Status code (405) indicating that the method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI.
what do they mean when they refer to: Request-Line & Request-URI?
thanks in advance

I understand that this happens when you try to do things like sending a POST request to a plain HTML page. The URI requested can't handle a POST request.
The request line is the first header line in the request.

Request line means the complete HTTP request that i ssent to the server. Requested URI refers to the location of the resource/application on the server.
Yep, the previous reply is on the dot. There are other cases. For example, if u refer to a servelt froma page using POST but in the servlet, u haven't provided a doPost, only doGet. I did get this error with JRun, don't know about other Servlet engines.
Hope this helps.
