Re: HTTP Error 500

[Richard Hartmann <hartmann@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Error 500 "This server is not configured to handle POST" when POST
is enabled and the URL
that requests the data is sent with method POST but the HTTP server is
hitting a Pass directive 
that maps to a valid file name on the AS/400

Correct the HTTP configuration to use an Exec directive for the request.


If the problem had been that POST was not enabled using Enable POST, the
server would
have sent an Error 403 "Method POST is diabled on this server".
