Error 400: HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL??


I'm trying to login to this website https://172.16.0.1/24online/servlet/MyAccountManager so I can check my cable internet usage. But I get the following error:

Error: 400
Location: /24online/servlet/MyAccountManager
HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL

First I was getting the error that the site is using SSL 2.0 which ain't supported. I couldn't figure out a way to fix this in Firefox but Opera gave me the option to select SSL 2.0 in "Security Protocols" section. Opera really is a polished browser!
And this was an IE-only site so I had to choose "Mask as IE" in Opera.

Anyways, how do I fix this error 400 that I'm getting? What does this error mean?

This didn't happen in Kubuntu (I was able to login with Opera) so I'm puzzled why I'm havin problems in openSUSE 10.2

Plz help. Thanks......

Does it work in IE? If so, probably only designed to work in such browser.

Use kubuntu then.. but that's not a browser, it's an OS. Perhaps it was using a different version of whatever browser you were using.

well if you do want to go any deeper, probably want to try capturing the data on the wire with wireshark and seeing what that interactions actually read like.

From the looks of it, the site is using JSP. Method GET is one way of sending data over HTTP; here is the IP address displayed in my browser as I am typing this up:
Look at the "?" and "&" bits - those are typical of the GET method: the IP address includes user requests. The POST method, on the other hand, will hide such information. It is used mainly when passing delicate data such as passwords or orders. The fact that you're accessing an https is a pretty good indication that the site will require the POST method.

What can you do about it? I suggest you give Konqueror a try and tell it to behave like IE6.
