   Zing :

   Reason #2 sounds like a bug in the web container. If it can’t handle POST, it should say that it can’t handle POST, rather than saying it can’t handle GET. :)

   Valera :

   I had same problem. The decision was to remove auto generated
   super.doGet(req, resp); in my doGet method

   Larry Trussell :

   In the past couple of weeks I have started getting the “HTTP Status 405 – HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL” message when I try to use some links from the MY MSN homepage. I’m not doing any programing just trying to go to a link on the page. I’m using Internet Explorer 8. Is there anything I should be changing to try and fix this?

     This error is caused by the server site, nothing to do with the client. Please contact the link owner / website owner about this issue.
