iis-7
this question got me halfway there:
How to tell IIS7 to allow POST to a text file (to solve 405)?
except now my POST throws a 404 instead of a 405. If I load the page directly, it loads fine, but following a POST it 404s.
How can I enable GET and POST for static HTML files in IIS 7? I… have no idea what I'm doing. Please help!
Did you turn on the static content feature?
Login as an admin on the IIS server, open IIS 7 Manager, the open the Asp icon under the Web site you want to change the error messages for (it'll be on the right with all the other icons; it's the first one).
Scroll down and change Send Errors To Browser to True. Might have to iisreset, not sure.
