Yes. You can use curl to talk to webservices.

You haven't provided much information so what follows is my best guess.

The error message you're seeing is an HTTP 405 response. The particular resource addressed in your URL does not support the POST method. If the server response is HTTP compliant, it should include an "Allow" header enumerating which methods are allowed (GET, PUT, or perhaps some custom methods).

If this guess-analysis is incorrect or you require more detailed help, provide more detailed info. For example, if this is a public url, provide that. Provide your actual curl command in its entirety. Provide the headers sent and received.

CURLOPT_USERAGENT(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					      CURLOPT_USERAGENT(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_USERAGENT - set HTTP user-agent header

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, char *ua);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	pointer  to  a	zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to set the User-Agent: header in the HTTP request sent to the
       remote server. This can be used to fool servers or scripts. You can also set any custom header with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3).

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

DEFAULT

       NULL, no User-Agent: header is used by default.

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP, HTTPS

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Dark Secret Ninja/1.0");

	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       As long as HTTP is supported

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
