Reason for 405 error on POST

[Chris Savery]

I tracked this down and found out it was indeed only when a post to a 
static file was happening.
I have some code which caches script output by creating static files of 
some content. It shouldn't have been doing it for POST situations but it 
was sometimes. Once that was fixed I didn't get this problem again. It 
was helpful to know how the 405 originated.
Thanks,
Chris :)
