405 trying to post to default page in IIS6

  • 772

I've got a weird problem in IIS6, I expect it's something silly (I'm a bit rusty on the IIS front).

I can post to my default page fine if I include it in the url (http://localhost/wiki/wiki.asp?pg=Home), but if I post without (http://localhost/wiki/?pg=Home) I get a 405.

If I do a get with that second URL, it works ok.

I don't think it's an ASP error, because I've got 'Send detailed error message to client' selected.

(Note: this is IIS on a workstation)

iis-6

    This occurs with a post to a URL that doesn't have an exception, in IIS 5.1 (workstation). Here are more details and the solution: http://www.somacon.com/p126.php.

    According to this KB article, that default setting was fixed in IIS6, which is why you see it on the workstation only.
