JMalling Outbound Message error - (405)Method Not Allowed
Hi all,
I am trying to get my app to call an external webservice. I'm fairly new with outbound messaging, and unfortunately, so far I've had nothing but issues with it.
Therefore I created a dummy webservice and outbound message that follows this guide exactly, just to try getting it to work: http://wiki.developerforce.com/index.php/Creating_an_Outbound_Messaging_Notification_Service_with_CSharp_and_.Net_Framework_2.0
In the Message Delivery Status however, I get the (405)Method Not Allowed error.
I've searched the forums and couldn't find that anyone has this issue when just trying to call a plain webservice. Therefore I'm thinking that I am perhaps overseeing something very basic. I've tried support and devsupport but no reply so far (weeks).
So, does anyone know what typically set off this error, or does anyone have any ideas as to what could be the issue here?
Thanks,
J
Outbound messaging uses SOAP, SOAP uses HTTP POST requests, your server is configured to disallow POSTs to that URL, I like curl for testing things like this.

Typically Web Services written in ASP.NET have a ..../something.asmx url.

Hi Simon,
We are using a publicly resolvable server host name.
Are you referring to the endpoint URL? If so, it is http://dem01.cfhcompany.com/Accounts
Thanks.

Hi Simon,
The asmx url is http://dem01.cfhcompany.com/Accounts/AccountNotificationService.asmx.
We are able to call the webservice from our test programs, on our local PCs, but the issue occurs when trying to call it through an outbound message in Salesforce.
We are running IIS - what setting would you recommend to allow POSTs?
