PUT requests not enabled in Azure

Question

I'm working on Azure and building a REST API. When I access an endpoint via PUT method, I get a HTTP 405 "Method Not Allowed" status along with this IIS error message:

The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) is being used.

How do I enable the PUT method, and other methods that may be blocked by default by Azure's default config settings?

You can try adding the following web.config in the system.webServer element:

<handlers>
  <remove name="PHP54_via_FastCGI" />
  <add name="PHP54_via_FastCGI" path="*.php" verb="GET, PUT, POST, HEAD, OPTIONS, TRACE, PROPFIND, PROPPATCH, MKCOL, COPY, MOVE, LOCK, UNLOCK" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="D:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\v5.4\php-cgi.exe" resourceType="Either" requireAccess="Script" />
</handlers>

if you are working with older versions of PHP, you will need to modify the path of the php-cgi handler.

Hope it helps!
