post with curl - error 501

Hi,

Friend of my set up for me an apache server (Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora),
php5, mod_rewrite, etc.. - http://serwer2.profprojekt.com.pl/info.php).

Everything works just fine, but i can't send HTTP_Request with data in
POST using CURL. Server returns error:

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
501 Method Not Implemented

Method Not Implemented
POST to /app/webroot/cake_gateway.php not supported.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------

When i'm sending requests with post using forms or ajax server manages
it faultlessly...

Anyone knows where should we looking for bug ?

Code is ok, it's working great on my local server as well as on other
servers. Problem occurring only on this one server - it's seems like
the server doesn't handle with HTTP_Request with data in POST from it
self.

I hope i'm understandable ;)

look for LIMIT directives on this server that your friend set up.

Maybe he has set


Order allow,deny
Deny From All


whereas you need


Order allow,deny
Deny From All


it could be this, have yohu tried using a proxy server to see what
headers your server returns.
What about the confniguration of cake, has POST been banned in there
for that directory. Perhaps everything is rewritten via a php script
which does not allow POST and sends back the area you are seeing.

Re: post with curl - error 501

ok, i've solved the problem

it was about mod_security. Replacing row with

SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "!(?:^(?:application/x-www-form-
urlencoded$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml)"
to
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "!(?:^(?:application/x-www-form-
urlencoded$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml|application/x-amf )"

makes it works perfectly.

thanks for your time

yeah sorry Davide, I didn't spot that. As you said it turned out to be
his code the whole time which he solved by ammending his mod security
rule for some reason.
