Serving files with Echo


I'm trying to serve multiple files with Echo, but it doesn't work every time. The api code looks like this:

package main

import (
    "github.com/labstack/echo"

    "net/http"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New();

    e.GET("/", home);

    e.File("/data1", "assets/data1.csv");

    e.File("/data2", "assets/data2.csv");

    e.Logger.Fatal(e.Start(":4243"));
}

func home(c echo.Context) error {
  return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Are you lost?");
}

To be precise, it does work for the very first file fetching, but then keeps failing for any subsequent calls (be them file fetching or more "classic" calls). The error message is a tad different for each browser:

In Chrome:

SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'setRequestHeader' on 'XMLHttpRequest': 'Bearer {the_entire_content_of_the_first_fetched_file}' is not a valid HTTP header field value.

In Firefox:

SyntaxError: An invalid or illegal string was specified

In Edge, simply:

SyntaxError

Tried activating CORS, nothing changed.

Looks to work pretty well with Postman. Maybe it's a problem with how I do fetch my data in my application?

If you need perhaps a bit more information, this thread is directly related to my previous one (Vuejs with axios request in vuex store: can't make more than one request, why?), but I didn't want to mix them up, as I don't know yet if I'm mistaken in my Vue code or my Echo one...


Solution

  • Welp, seems it was my application's fault all along! My Echo api seems fine... for now!

    If someone has the same problem, perhaps this Vuejs with axios request in vuex store: can't make more than one request, why? will help.
