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.
