Hello I want to send a request using Kurl to follow the link (externally the link looks like

<a id="ctl00_plhMain_lnkSchApp" class="purplelink" href="javascript:__doPostBack('ctl00$plhMain$lnkSchApp','')">Далее</a>

I pass a post request:

  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,'некий пост-текст').

All the request data that is sent is taken from firebug, it clearly states that this is a post method. But as a result, the server returns

HTTP / 1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Allow: OPTIONS, TRACE, GET, HEAD
Content-Length: 1564 Content-Type: text / html
Server: Microsoft-IIS / 6.0 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
Date: Thu, 01 Sep 2016 16:45:55 GMT

that is, the POST method is not allowed. I can not understand what the problem is: either I do not correctly set the request, or indeed the method is not needed here, maybe there is another way to follow the link?

It seems that this question does not correspond to the subject of the site. Those who voted to close it indicated the following reason:

  • “Questions asking for help with debugging (“ why does this code not work? ”) Should include the desired behavior, a specific problem or error, and a minimum code for playing it right in the question . Questions without an explicit description of the problem are useless for other visitors. See How to create minimal, self-sufficient and reproducible example . " - Dmitriy Simushev, pavel, Bald, Denis
If the question can be reformulated according to the rules set out in the certificate , edit it .

  • Response code 405 means that the request cannot be sent to this URL with the method you use. Moreover, the Allow header explicitly says that only queries with options OPTIONS , TRACE , GET , HEAD are expected. - Nofate ♦
  • I understand, but firebug indicates that when you follow this link, post data was transmitted by a method. It turns out he is lying? - Roma Tulaydan

I guess you should pass the correct Content-Type and the correct CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
