405 – Method Not Allowed

  • Hi,

    I am receiving a 405 error. I am not quite sure why and am hoping I am missing something simple. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. See below for response trace:

    Not entirely sure, but the error message coming back from the page is:

    > The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource

    I don’t think that means you’re supposed to provide the header; have you tried contacting a representative from the endpoint? Where are you trying to post?

    Thanks. It would seem you are right with the endpoint causing issues as I tried to write my own hook from the Gravity Forms submission using WP_HTTP() etc as per their examples to no available. When I implemented a CURL it posts fine. So I believe the endpoint isn’t liking something about WP_HTTP().

    Weird. Similar to what I said in this question about making a GET request instead of POST, you can write a ‘simple’ bypass hook to send the relevant $post_args via curl instead.

    Or send them via email. Or save to a database. Etc. (in case anyone else stumbles here looking for those suggestions…)

    Thanks Zaus. I will have a further play in the next few days and let you know.

    I have the exact same issue as described in this ticket. Like the original poster, I’m trying to use 3rd Party Integration to post to NetSuite using Gravity Forms and getting a 405 error.

    I haven’t yet figured out how to implement your suggested solution– posting the arguments via curl using a bypass hook. Just based on what jarededutect said, however, I assume that would solve this issue.

    NetSuite has no problem accepting data via post when it’s sent through a simple html form. Regardless of the fact that wp_http() is being used, POST is still the method implemented by this plugin to send the data.

    Can you speculate as to why a simple html form would be accepted by the endpoint but a form that uses wp_http() would be rejected with “method not allowed”?
