Hi,

Friend of my set up for me an apache server (Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora),
php5, mod_rewrite, etc.. - http://serwer2.profprojekt.com.pl/info.php).

Everything works just fine, but i can't send HTTP_Request with data in
POST using CURL. Server returns error:

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
501 Method Not Implemented

Method Not Implemented
POST to /app/webroot/cake_gateway.php not supported.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------

When i'm sending requests with post using forms or ajax server manages
it faultlessly...

Anyone knows where should we looking for bug ?

Code is ok, it's working great on my local server as well as on other
servers. Problem occurring only on this one server - it's seems like
the server doesn't handle with HTTP_Request with data in POST from it
self.

I hope i'm understandable ;)

look for LIMIT directives on this server that your friend set up.

Maybe he has set

<LimitExcept GET>
Order allow,deny
Deny From All
</LimitExcept>

whereas you need

<LimitExcept GET POST>
Order allow,deny
Deny From All
</LimitExcept>

it could be this, have yohu tried using a proxy server to see what
headers your server returns.
What about the confniguration of cake, has POST been banned in there
for that directory. Perhaps everything is rewritten via a php script
which does not allow POST and sends back the area you are seeing.

ok, i've solved the problem

it was about mod_security. Replacing row with

SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "!(?:^(?:application/x-www-form-
urlencoded$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml)"
to
SecRule REQUEST_HEADERS:Content-Type "!(?:^(?:application/x-www-form-
urlencoded$|multipart/form-data;)|text/xml|application/x-amf )"

makes it works perfectly.

thanks for your time

yeah sorry Davide, I didn't spot that. As you said it turned out to be
his code the whole time which he solved by ammending his mod security
rule for some reason.
