axios.post is sending a GET request

I have a chrome extension which uses react/axios. In that app I'm sending a post request like so:

export const createComment = payload => {
  const url = `${COMMENTS_BASE_URL}`;
  const promise = axios.post(url, payload);
  return { type: CREATE_COMMENT, promise };
}

Even though it's clearly axios.post(), the browser is sending a GET request to the url, which is not allowed (response 405). I've tried also using axios({ method: 'post', ... }) but the same thing happens with the browser sending a GET request.

Solution

  • Try to remove a trailing slash in COMMENTS_BASE_URL if you have it.

    i.e. use '/resource' instead of '/resource/'. We had the same problem.
