405 Response for a POST request using flask server

I have been trying to access a flask based python server inside my application using the following code:

baseURL = 'http://' + IP_Add_Server + ":" + PORT
postURL = baseURL + '/new-user'
data = {'username': user_id.get(),'password': password.get()}
r = requests.post(url=postURL, data=data)

The server side code is as follows:

@flask_app.route('/new-user', methods = ['POST'])
def adduser():
    if request.method == 'PUT':
        ID = request.form['username']
        Pswd = request.form['password']
        return Response(myDB.add_new_user(ID, Pswd))
    else:
        return Response('Wrong method', mimetype = 'text/plain')

The response I get for the same is 405. I tried using params instead of data but that didn't solve the problem.

Can someone suggest what the problem might be?

It looks like your server is expecting a PUT request, not a POST.

You can fix the issue by either making a PUT request with requests.put or changing the server to accept POST with if request.method == 'POST':
