HTTP 405 Error

As per logs, the referrer URL is empty might be because of below conditions

• entered the site URL in browser address bar itself.
• visited the site by a browser-maintained bookmark.
• visited the site as first page in the window/tab.
• switched from a https URL to a http URL.
• switched from a https URL to a different https URL. (only if it is blocked by referrer metatag on website)
• has security software installed (antivirus/firewall/etc) which strips the referrer from all requests.
• is behind a proxy which strips the referrer from all requests.
• visited the site programmatically (like, curl) without setting the referrer header (searchbots!).

The temporary purpose you can enable allow empty - not recommended in production

• http://localhost:4502/system/console/components
• Go to "Apache Sling Referrer Filter"
• Select "Allow Empty"

Are you facing the same issue when you deploy through package manager?

Hi vineetp40789287​,

Can you check "allow empty" field in "Apache Sling Referrer Filter" from host:port/sytem/console/configMgr if already not checked?

It might help you fix the above exception.

can you switch your port number to 4502 and give a try?

* Is this reproducible on your system?

* do you see that request in the request.log? Or the access.log?

* something suspicious in the error.log?

HTTP statuscode 405 "method not allowed" might be thrown by the CSRF filter, but I would doubt that (the webconsole is not covered by Sling filters).

Are you working through corporate proxy?

These things like to intercept POST requests.

E.g. upload of .jar is blocked and you get 405 as a response.

Regards,

Peter
