SharePoint PitStop: Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests. To allow updates on a GET, set the 'AllowUnsafeUpdates' property on SPWeb.

Thursday, August 23, 2012

When you work on Central Administration ,

1) Application Management -> Web Applications -> Manage web applications

2) Select a web application -> General Settings. You get the below error :

"Updates are currently disallowed on GET requests. To allow updates on a GET, set the 'AllowUnsafeUpdates' property on SPWeb."

Fix :

Open Sharepoint 2010 Management powershell

Put the below code in :

$w = get-spwebapplication http://The_Web_App

$w.HttpThrottleSettings

$w.Update()

This should help.

In my experience, this may remove the error, but the web application is corrupt, and the contents of the InetPub directory for this web app are incomplete/corrupt and will need to be re-created (possibly a memory related issue as tend to see when I have more than a few web apps).
