why I am getting method not allowed error (405)

[kokababu]

Hi,

I have a simple rest web service which is running in the Tomcat. I tested my web service successfully using REST Client for FireFox.

Now, I used PHP socket to post xml as string to my web service. But I got HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed error.

I used the following code:

<?php
 
    $str="<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><userEntity><address1>1300 Montecito Avenue</address1></userEntity>";
 
    $d="";
    $fp = fsockopen("localhost", 8080, $errno, $errstr, 30);
 
    if (!$fp) {
        echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
    } else {
        fputs($fp, "POST /restWS/users/ HTTP/1.1\r\n");
        fputs($fp, "Host: localhost\r\n");
        fputs($fp, "Content-type: text/plain\r\n");
        fputs($fp, "Content-length: ".strlen($str)."\r\n");        
        fputs($fp, "Connection: close\r\n\r\n");
        fputs($fp, $str."\r\n\r\n"); 
 
 
 
        while(!feof($fp)){
            $d .= fgets($fp);
        }
 
        fclose($fp);                 
 
        echo $d;
    }
?>
 

I would be glad, if someone kindly help me to figure out this problem.

Thank you.
