What are you hoping to get back from a plain HTML page with your POST?
For what it's worth, I use POST all the time, posting to PHP pages, and
it works just fine in that context on Mac OS X Server. You can use GET
against an HTML page, and you get the (unmodified) page back from that
request.

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.
