Using winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1 retrieving web data returns "Server Error 405"

Hi,

I would like to download data from this website https://www.hkex.com.hk/eng/market/s...e/eisdeqty.htm by using winhttp.winhttprequest.5.1 or Microsoft.XMLHTTP method, but neither works.

Here's my code

The below sentence is shown under dom.Body.innerHTML in Local Variable window.
"Server Error 405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access."

But I can download the data through Internet Explorer. Can anyone please tell me the reason behind?

Thanks, it works. Could you please tell me what's the reason of failure when I used "POST" instead of "GET"?
