Configuring Apache on OS X 10.4 for POST method

Hello... I'm new to this list but I'm hoping to become an active participant, especially if we can resolve the issue I'm having that also seems to be a common one for other web developers out there using OS X.

It seems that the default OS X apache install doesn't allow for POST method calls. An hour's worth of googling returned little results (although I found comments by many others saying that _their_ hours of googling also returned little results, which was sort of comforting). 

I'm trying to make some posts using a basic ajax script. I get the message:

Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL

The best explanation I could find had to do with how the default apache install limits cgi scripts to a particular directory, but cgi is out of my scope, so I don't know how to better explain or take control of this. I couldn't find anything I could modify or add to my httpd.conf file to fix this.

If anyone can help me with this, I'd like to document it online (somewhere) as it seems to be a widespread issue.

Thank you.
