405 – HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed – IIS 7.5

httpverbsiis-7.5

Good Day,

I am struggling with this error when I try to access one of my pages on my site. The error reads in full – 405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access. The website is an asp.net website compiled to run in a .NET 4.0 application pool.

The site has 1 handler specified in the web.config:

<system.webServer>
    <handlers>         
        <add verb="*" path="*adapter" name="AdapterHandler" type="AdapterHandler" />
    </handlers>
</system.webServer>

I also see this handler on IIS.

All verbs are allowed! I have no idea why this suddenly occurs. Any Advice?

It turns out that the link to my page set up on a remote system pointed to the FOLDER in which the page resided in, not to the Page itself.
