There are several reasons why a specific HTTP verb may not be allowed, but there is one primary scenario that is the leading cause of this error in IIS: multiple handlers are defined for the same verb/method, and one of the handlers is blocking the expected handler from processing the request. By way of explanation, IIS processes handlers from first to last based on the order handler entries in the applicationHost.config and web.config files, where the first matching combination of path, verb, resource, etc., will be used to handle the request.
