How can I create the 405 error

I need to test 405 error page, but I have no idea how to create the 405 error.

Is there a way to reproduce 405 error on my site?

HTTP response status code 405 means Method Not Allowed. This status code states that HTTP method was received and recognized by the server, but the server has rejected that particular method for the requested resource.

The easiest way to stimulate the response code 405 is to either

  1. Try to access a non-existing resource/URL
  2. Try to access an existing resource without the proper permission.

Try the following example with an HTTP tool like Postman

The following HTTP request tries to use PUT method on /api/values/ without the right permission

PUT /api/values/1 HTTP/1.1
Content-type: application/json
Host: localhost
Accept: */*
Content-Length: 12

"Some Value"

HTTP Response states code 405

HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Expires: -1
Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Wed, 15 May 2013 02:38:57 GMT
Content-Length: 72

{"Message":"The requested resource does not support http method 'PUT'."}
