I am trying to use DropZone (www.dropzonejs.com/) to post an xlsx file to read on the client side. This works in my test environment using ember server. However, once I brought it across to IIS8, I am getting a 405 Method Not Allowed error. DropZone makes a POST request with the file. I tried adding the POST verb to the StaticFile Handler Mapping but it does not seem to affect it. I was wondering if it could be to do with the Origin not having a trailing slash, while the Referer does.
The StaticFile Handler Mapping in IIS for the Site has a Path of * and Verbs is set to "All Verbs", Access is "Read", Mapping is "File or Folder"
This is what I can see using Chrome Developer Tools:
