Retrieving Recommends for blog entry: Method not allowed

Question

I'm trying to retrieve a feed of recommenders for a blog entry as described in the API documentation here:

http://www-0.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/xpDocViewer.xsp?lookupName=IBM+Connections+4.0+API+Documentation#action=openDocument&res_title=Getting_a_list_of_recommenders_ic40a&content=pdcontent

Problem is, I always get a http 405: method not allowed. Is this a known problem? Am I doing anything wrong? To be more precise, I am dealing with entries of an ideation blog here. My request is authenticated with the owner of the community and ideation blog.

Do you get the 405 in the browser or from making the API call in your app? — Ryan Baxter
sadly for both, i also tried RestClient Addon for firefox - same result — BennyLau
I am making various calls to the Api from our Java app, retrieving a community, the blog inside the community and its entries. This all works well, and even the COMMENTS url from the very same entry feed returns results. — BennyLau
are you making a call against a production server? or perhaps it's behind a reverse proxy? maybe you should check via direct access? also did you try the GET operation with the proper request type? I imagine you didn't set the request-type — Paul Bastide
No luck with direct access, I'm still facing the same 405. What do you mean with request type? The method of the request is GET, it's authenticated via Basic Authentication and I dont use any other headers. Is there anything necessary, that I'm not aware of? I'm espacially baffled because all the other requests (for comments of an entry as well as the comment's likes among various other things) are working flawlessly. — BennyLau
