I have a html page that posts to another html page. Both pages load fine, but when I post the form on the first page to the second I get a 405 - Method Not Allowed error. I use IIS 7 to run the site on a windows machine.
This is the page that posts to the second page
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Form Post</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="/test/form_fetch.html">
<input type="hidden" name="hidtest" value="works"/>
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
This is the second page
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Error details:
HTTP Error 405.0 - Method Not Allowed
The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.
The StaticFile Handler is already set to be able to deal with all verbs, but it still doesn't work.
This is a server configuration issue. Nothing in the document will affect the HTTP Status code of the response.
The server has been set to reject POST requests to that URI.
