405Method Not Allowed

The URL exists, but it does not accept the HTTP method you used, such as a POST to a read-only endpoint.

When you see it

Sending POST where only GET is handled, or DELETE to an endpoint that does not support it. A correct 405 includes an Allow header listing the methods that would work, which usually tells you the fix immediately.

It also appears when a redirect quietly changed your method. A POST that follows a 301 can arrive as a GET, and the endpoint then rejects it.
