405 Method Not Allowed The method POST is not allowed for this resource appengine facebook App

Question

I'm doing an app on appengine and it works just fine there .I have the app's URL on facebook canvas url http://xx.appspot.com/yyy/ (with trailing slash) and when the app is called from http://apps.facebook.com/appname i get

405 Method Not Allowed The method POST is not allowed for this resource.

class MainHandler(webapp2.RequestHandler): def get(self): #do stuff here def post(self): pass

app = webapp2.WSGIApplication([ ('/yyy/', MainHandler), ('/',anotherHandler),

], debug=True )

note : no such error in appengine log .

Answer 1

It's trying to make a POST to your app but you do not have a handler configured to receive it.

Where you have your GET handler:

 def get(self):
     dostuff

you also need to have a POST hander as well:

def post(self):
    dostuff

From what I remember when I last looked at this, it's probably trying to complete a step in the authorisation process or send you some data.

Answer 2

Good Day !

It seems like I FINALLY figured out what my problem was . I defined the post method in the application as Paul C(which is correct) has mentioned but I was still getting the same 405 error message . The reason was ,I didn't update the default version of the app that was running from the appengine dashboard & updated my app version.

please make sure which version of the app you are using if you have the same problem. https://appengine.google.com/deployment?app_id=s~APP_ID&version_id=default:

I hope no one goes through this same experience I did. Thanks all.
