Using C# to update a Confluence page I keep getting 405 ERROR

I am trying to update a Confluence page. I have been able to use this on Confluence localhost, but when I tried it on the production server I got this error:

StatusCode: 405, ReasonPhrase: 'Method Not Allowed', Version: 1.1, Content: System.Net.Http.StreamContent, Headers:
{
  Vary: Accept-Encoding
  Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2017 21:29:44 GMT
  Server: Apache/2.2.15
  Server: (CentOS)
  Content-Length: 342
  Allow: GET
  Allow: HEAD
  Allow: POST
  Allow: OPTIONS
  Allow: TRACE
  Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
}

This is my code. Any idea what would be causing this issue?

string json = "{\"version\":{\"number\":4},\"title\":\"Bloomberg Test\",\"type\":\"page\",\"body\":{\"storage\":{\"value\":\"Hello World\",\"representation\": \"storage\"}}}";      
string userpass = username+":"+password;
string encoded = Convert.ToBase64String(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(userpass));
string encval = "Basic " + encoded;
var content = new StringContent(json, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("X-Atlassian-Token", "nocheck");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", encval);
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Accept", "application/json");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new System.Net.Http.Headers.MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
client.BaseAddress = new Uri(baseurl);
var resp = client.PutAsync(@"/rest/api/content/"+pageid, content);

Replaced:

client.BaseAddress = new Uri(baseurl);
var resp = client.PutAsync(@"/rest/api/content/"+pageid, content);

With:

var resp = client.PutAsync(baseurl+"/rest/api/content/"+pageid, content);

My guess, the BaseAddress is doing something odd like adding a slash at the end or something.

It works now!

You're performing an HTTP Put via client.PutAsync(). This is probably allowed locally, but on the server it's not. The response even includes the allowed http methods:

Allow: GET Allow: HEAD Allow: POST Allow: OPTIONS Allow: TRACE

So if the suggested PostAsync() is not supported by Confluence, adjust the server and allow the PUT method as well.

405 means that the HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT ...) is not allowed.

I don't know the details of Confluence, but try using a POST request

var resp = client.PostAsync(@"/rest/api/content/"+pageid, content);
