Method not allowed

Error message

Method not allowed

What it means

logHandler only supports GET (read memory log) and DELETE (reset it); any other HTTP method reaches the default branch and is rejected with 400. A generic method-validation guard on the /api/log endpoint.

Solutions

1. Use GET /api/log to read the log
2. Use DELETE /api/log to clear it
3. Fix the HTTP method in your script/client configuration

Example fix

// before
curl -X POST http://host:1984/api/log
// after
curl http://host:1984/api/log        # read
curl -X DELETE http://host:1984/api/log  # clear

if (method !== 'GET' && method !== 'DELETE') throw new Error('/api/log supports GET and DELETE only');

When it happens

Trigger: Sending POST/PUT/HEAD or other methods to /api/log.

Common situations: Automation scripts using POST to push logs, or probing the endpoint with the wrong verb.
