Using the API in Confluence 6.15

Question

I have Confluence 6.15 and i am trying to update one of the pages using the API.

When i run the API for updating a page it gives me the error:

HTTP Status 405 – Method Not Allowed

The method received in the request-line is known by the origin server but not supported by the target resource.

The user has permissions to make this kind of changes, i don't know if i'm not supposed to use the API but instead another option. Or if there is even another option to do it.

Also i'm looking at this documentation, i'm not sure if it applies for my confluence version:

Hello,

Thanks for your help, i run the curl command that you sent me but i am getting the same error:

Method Not Allowed

The method received in the request-line is known by the origin server but not supported by the target resource.

Is there any other way to do this?

Not sure what is the exact issue here.I usually use below curl to update content via api. curl -Eusername -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'{"id":"128286721","type":"page","title":"new testing","space":{"key":"xyzzy"},"body":{"storage":{"value": "

This is the updated text for the new page

","representation":"storage"}}, "version":{"number":2}}' https://xyz.confluence.com/confluence/rest/api/content/128286721
