    <p><em>UPDATE: These problems were caused by a reverse proxy performing a 301 redirect. Altering the url to the destination of the redirect fixed the issue.</em></p> <p>I am struggling to make a POST request from android to a web service.</p> <p>I have a web service running on IIS7 with the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;OperationContract()&gt; _ &lt;Web.WebInvoke(BodyStyle:=WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare, Method:="POST", RequestFormat:=WebMessageFormat.Xml, ResponseFormat:=WebMessageFormat.Xml, UriTemplate:="HelloWorld")&gt; _ Function HelloWorld() As XmlElement </code></pre> <p>When I send a POST request to this url from Firefox it works as expected.</p> <p>When I make the request from an Android device using the following code:</p> <pre><code>String sRequest = "http://www.myserviceurl.com/mysevice/HelloWorld"; ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt; arrValues = new ArrayList&lt;NameValuePair&gt;(); arrValues.add(new BasicNameValuePair("hello", "world")); HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); HttpPost httpRequest = new HttpPost(sRequest); httpRequest.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); httpRequest.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(arrValues)); HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpRequest); </code></pre> <p>I get a Method Not Allowed 405 response and when looking in the IIS logs the request to this url appears as a "GET".</p> <p>If I change the target of the request to a PHP script that echoes $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] the output is POST.</p> <p>The web.config of the web service has GET, HEAD and POST as verbs.</p> <p>Is there something I have overlooked?</p>

    1. COAll evidence seems to suggest the problem is being caused by the reverse proxy that the service is sat behind.

    2. COThe web service is behind a reverse proxy. The url of my service was being redirected to another url, this redirect was a GET and not a POST. Hence the 405.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
