405 Method Not Allowed

Answer 1

Make sure that you have "POST" in http_method_names. Alternatively, you can write it like this:

def allowed_methods(self):
    """
    Return the list of allowed HTTP methods, uppercased.
    """
    self.http_method_names.append("post")
    return [method.upper() for method in self.http_method_names
            if hasattr(self, method)]
