**Title:** Fix HTTP status 405
**Date:** 2021-12-09
# Summary Stop returning HTTP Status 405 or ensure that RFC 2616 is followed. # Description When using HTTP GET for a POST endpoint or vice versa, HTTP status code 405 is currently returned by sigsum-log-go. According to RFC 2616, an Allow header MUST be included in the response. This issue requires figuring out what sigsum-log-go should do: not return HTTP Status 405 or adhere to RFC 2616? Extract from RFC 2616: ``` 10.4.6 405 Method Not Allowed The method specified in the Request-Line is not allowed for the resource identified by the Request-URI. The response MUST include an Allow header containing a list of valid methods for the requested resource. ``` To find the relevant parts in the sigsum-log-go code, see the output of git grep StatusMethodNotAllowed
