The browser will issue a GET request for your resource, the server you are calling is telling you that the POST method is not allowed for the URL you are trying to call. By passing in the path portion of your URL as the Request object data parameter you are making this a POST instead of a GET.

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11453078/why-am-i-getting-http-error-405-method-not-allowed-when-requesting-a-url-usin[^]

And also see the possible reasons of HTTP Error 405 Method not allowed[^]
