In above code variable  ver  is assign to null  print  ver  before returning and see the value  As this  ver  having null service is send status as  204 No Content    And about status code  405 - Method Not Allowed  will get this status code when rest  controller or service only supporting GET method but from client side your trying with POST with valid uri request  during such scenario get status as  405 - Method Not Allowed

I also had this problem and was able to solve it by enabling CORS support on the server  In my case it was an Azure server and it was easy  Enable CORS on Azure  So check for your server how it works and enable CORS  I didn t even need a browser plugin or proxy
