Question 80431 in Docker Question posted in
The official documentation can be found here.

Why my curl command responds successfully, and wget command return 405 response? – Docker

I am executing two commands as follows:

curl http://somehost:port/endpoin

this return me successful response.

Whereas if I execute the same command with wget as follows:

wget --spider -S http://somehost:port/endpoint

this gives me a 405 Method not allowed error.

If I simply do wget http://somehost:port/endpoint I can downoad the file successfully.

Can someone help me understand the issue?

    --spider argument specified that the request issued is of type HEAD and not GET or POST

    following command works just fine thanks to @xirehat

    wget -S http://somehost:port/endpoint

    When you run this command

    curl http://somehost:port/endpoin

    It sends request GET method.

    But another one use HEAD method. So that service may only allows GET method and deny others.
