HTTP verb POST used not allowed

[Ben]

Hi,

i try to submit a form in an aspx file through javascript to an classic asp
page like this:

<form id="ins" method="post">
<input id="conn" name="conn" type="hidden" />
<input runat="server" id="submit1" type="button" onclick="inexcel()"/>
</form>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function infilel()
{
document.getElementById("conn").value=conn
document.getElementById("ins").action="infile.asp"
document.getElementById("ins").submit()
return true;
}

</script>


i get the message: The HTTP verb POST used to access path
'/enquete/infile.asp' is not allowed.

I know classic asp pages are allowed to run because in this asp.net
application, using e.g. window.location.href="myfile.asp" works.

What do i have to change in the configuration of IIS 5.0 (or 6.0) to make
this run, or is it an asp.net issue?

Thanks for help
Ben

I'm not sure if this will work, but try :

<asp:Button
ID="Button1"
PostBackUrl="/enquete/infile.asp"
runat="server"
Text="Submit" />

In ASP.NET,. you need to set the PostBackUrl in order to do cross page posting.

I know that works when the page being posted to is an aspx page,
but try it and see if it works for asp pages, too.

What I *do* know is that if you *don't* set the PostBackUrl, you can't cross-post.

location.href is a GET. the error means iis is not configred to allow
post to an asp application in the vdir. look at the mapping and add the
POST verb.

In the configuration of IIS, in the list of the extentions, there is .ASP
with following verbs:
GET, POST, TRACE, HEAD ..

so ...??

IIS and ASP does not have error message that looks like:
"The HTTP verb POST used to access path '/enquete/infile.asp' is not
allowed"

I would go down the ASP.Net configuration route.

Ben, David :

I constructed a simple page which proves that you can post
to an ASP page from an ASPX page using PostBackUrl.

See it working at :

http://asp.net.do/test/cross-post.aspx

Just write your name...and submit the form.
The ASP page returns your name using Request.Form.

Here's the code for the ASPX page :

form ID= "Check" runat="server">
Write your name:
<asp:TextBox ID="Name" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID= "crosspost" Text="Post to an ASP page" runat="server" PostbackUrl="cross-posted.asp" />
</form>

Here's the code in "cross-posted.asp" :

<%
Response.Write Request.Form("Name") & "<BR>"
%>

It's very simple...and works fine.

I don't think anyone was disproving your statement.

I'm just saying that the error did not come from IIS/ASP, so the issue
comes from how ASP.Net is used. That is certainly correct and not
disproving anything else.

Ben's example was not using PostBackUrl. Perhaps that is the issue...
in which case all is well.

No problem. I didn't think that was the case.
I only wanted to provide the solution.

Indeed, it is the issue. Using PostBackUrl is the solution.
