I have following proxy endpoint properties set

/v1/data

true

false

false

false

false

false

false

false

default

But no luck, its allowing all methods. I see in trace session that these properties are there, so it is deployed.

Thanks, Sanjay

I’ve not had the time to verify the behaviour of setting those properties, but there may be an alternative solution for what you’re trying to achieve…

What about raising a fault based on the request method? You could do this as the first step.

```auto
<PreFlow name="PreFlow">
        <Request>
            <Step>
                <Condition>request.verb != "GET"</Condition>
                <Name>fault-method-not-allowed</Name>
            </Step>
	...

```

Where “method-not-allowed-fault” is a RaiseFault policy that could look like this:

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<RaiseFault enabled="true" continueOnError="false" async="false" name="fault-method-not-allowed">
	<DisplayName>fault-method-not-allowed</DisplayName>
	<FaultResponse>
		<Set>
			<StatusCode>405</StatusCode>
			<Headers>
				<Header name="Allow">GET</Header>
			</Headers>
		</Set>
	</FaultResponse>    
	<IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>true</IgnoreUnresolvedVariables>
</RaiseFault>

```

HTTP properties “allow.http.method.” is not supported in the recent releases. We have to handle through “RaiseFault” policy in the message flow, as suggested by Omid.

[@docs](https://community.apigee.com/users/809/docs4g.html) , We need to update documentation & remove the references. Thank you 🙂
