status code 405 issue..Alamofire POST request...

Question

I am trying to make a Alamofire POST request. This is how I am making the request..

     Alamofire.request(url, method: .post, parameters: parameters, encoding: URLEncoding(destination: .queryString), headers : headers)
        .responseString { response in
            print(response.result)
 }

Though I am getting the result as 'SUCCESS', the status code is always shown as 405 while it should have been 200. In the 'encoding' part of the request, I have tried everything like JSONEncoding.default,JSONEncoding.prettyPrinted, URLEncoding.httpbody...but always the status code is still 405. Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance...

This is the solution for this issue...A couple of changes had to be made..

The header which was given was this: let headers = [ "Content-Type" : "application/json"]. But it had to be let headers = [ "Content-Type":"application/x-www-form-urlencoded"]. Also the encoding should be given as URLEncoding.httpBody.

Making these changes made it work fine...

I think problem is with your server because this status code only comes when server disable the api

The HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed response status code indicates that the request method is known by the server but has been disabled and cannot be used. The two mandatory methods, GET and HEAD, must never be disabled and should not return this error code.

So Contact your server(backend developer), make sure your url is correct

i pretty sure about that your url is posted wrong from mobile side append url with "/" at the end of url and try again – Jaydeep Vyas Jul 29 '17 at 06:37
then there is only one choice please post your url and params – Jaydeep Vyas Jul 29 '17 at 06:58
The url works fine in postman without the "/". But if it is not appended with "/" in the code, then it gives a status code of 500 instead of 405.. – D.M Jul 29 '17 at 07:18
can you update the `URL` in your OP? because that's the only helpful clue to find your issue and get it resolved! @Jaydeep is right though. – Anurag Sharma Jul 29 '17 at 07:23
yes i check your url in my project and give the reason what is problem – Jaydeep Vyas Jul 29 '17 at 07:28
Ok...this is the url -> http://osho.binaryic.com/v1/feedback . And the parameters are name, email, phone_no, feedback. All the parameters are of string type... – D.M Jul 29 '17 at 07:31
also provide parameters – Jaydeep Vyas Jul 29 '17 at 07:33

I have faced same problem. The API endpoint worked fine with Android Retrofit, also tested with PostMan. Also the header's Content-Type was application/json. It was really strange bug. I've used Fiddler to check the response. The error message was

The requested resource does not support http method 'T'/'ST'.

I used GET/POST method, but it said I was using the T/ST, instead of GET/POST

I found answer from the Alamofire's issues.

When I called the API endpoint without parameters, I used the blank dictionary as parameter.

Alamofire.request("URL", method: .get, parameters: [:], encoding: JSONEncoding.default).responseString(completionHandler: completionHandler)

I changed it to nil

Alamofire.request("URL", method: .get, parameters: nil, encoding: JSONEncoding.default).responseString(completionHandler: completionHandler)

After that, it worked fine. Hope it will help you. Cheers!

Try to replace:

responseString with responseJSON AND URLEncoding(destination: .queryString) with URLEncoding.default

LIKE:

Alamofire.request(strURL, method: .post, parameters: params, encoding: URLEncoding.default, headers: headers).responseJSON { (responseObject) -> Void in 

//Do something

}

try to print `responseObject.result.value` in my function. I have tested this function more than 100 times. – Anurag Sharma Jul 29 '17 at 06:48
printing responseObject.result.value gives 'nil'. Just FYI..the url works fine in Postman.. – D.M Jul 29 '17 at 07:04
