301 Redirects to external url

Publishing help Project settings
1

The 301 redirect in the project settings (doc) doesn’t accept and redirect POST requests

Example:
Old path: /oldurl
Redirect to path: https://www.example.com/oldurl

Doing a POST request to /oldurl returns a 405 http error instead
curl -L -XPOST [WEBFLOW_URL_HERE]/oldurl returns
Response:

<html>
<head><title>405 Not Allowed</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>405 Not Allowed</h1></center>
<hr><center>openresty</center>
</body>
</html>

Is this intended? Since I expect the destination URL to be the one to determine which methods it accepts

Is there a workaround for this?

Hey Kurt,

No not that I’m aware of. But I’m also not certain where you’d use it. On Webflow’s hosting, you don’t have the ability to create HTTP POST handlers, and any external POST method recipients you would just target directly from e.g. a form.
