Is POST supported?

[LostSenSS]

Hi! Why POST request can not work? Example : I send simple form on current page address. Output in Grunt console : [D] server POST /build/views/profile.html 404 - - 1 ms With GET all fine: D] server GET /build/views/profile.html?name=test 200 8960 - 1 ms If I try to do the same on real server then all right.

Static only responds to GET requests. To handle other request methods, you would need to add your own middleware and check for req.method === 'POST': https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-connect#middleware

@shama i've tried your suggestion, but i can't get it to work. the server sends back a 405 status code.

code here: https://github.com/optimizely/marketing-website/blob/krush/oform/Gruntfile.js#L117

any ideas?

@kylerush You might need to unshift your middleware instead of push. My guess is another middleware is grabbing your POST request first.

@shama that worked. thanks for the help.

I got a 404 response error when I send request using POST method, this is my task config?

    connect: {
      livereload: {
        options: {
          middleware: function(connect, options, middlewares) {

            middlewares.unshift(function (req, res, next) {
              res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', req.headers.origin);
              res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
              res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,HEAD,PUT,PATCH,POST,DELETE');
              res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', req.headers['access-control-request-headers']);
              return next();
            });

            return [
              connect.static('.tmp'),
              connect.static('.tmp/concat'),
              connect().use('/bower_components'),
              connect.static('app')
            ];

          }
        }
      },

[luozhihua]

arr.unshift() doe's not accept a Function type arguments?

[shama]

Oh sorry @luozhihua I misread the code. The unshift usage there is correct, my bad.

But take a look at the array of middlewares you're returning vs the middlewares array you're unshifting. That might be the problem. ;)

I'm getting 405 error as well. I'm on the latest version, v1.0.2. I have middleware setup set the headers to allow POST but I still get the error. This makes it very hard to test since I can test my changes locally.

server: {
    options: {
        base: ['<%= config.dev %>', '<%= config.app %>'],
        open: true,
        middleware: function (connect, options, middlewares) {
            middlewares.unshift(function (req, res, next) {
                res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
                res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', true);
                res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', '*');
                res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Content-Type');

                return next();
            });
            return middlewares;
        }
    }
}
