Post request gives "GET" as response.data about apisauce

[novotnej]

ok did some digging around on the server side.
in the app I was using the non-www version, which does re-direct to the www. version.

which is fine for GET and apparently it is default behavior to send a GET request to the redirected site instead of sending the same POST request, but to a different URL..

Well, sorry for wasting your time with this, but at least it pointed me in the right direction, I would've been looking for this for a while... :D

Hmm... I mean, your code looks totally normal. You might be able to log with console.dir(response).

The data: "GET" seems a bit strange to me though. Unless that's what you're returning back from the server.

That config object will contain the headers that were sent to the server for your request. Have a look inside there.

Also, do you have any request or response transforms? Are you setting a header when you create the api object?

[novotnej]

yeah I know, that's what strikes me as odd as well, but there is no way the server returned that. The only possilbe outcomes are

• code 200, content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8
• code 500, some html message
• code 404 with HTML error

in the config object the headers are
Accept:"application/json"
Content-Type:"application/json"

and I commented out all response or request transforms when I started suspecting something might be wrong there...

If you're using React Native, what version are you using? and what simulator os version? Version 0.8 of apisauce?

[novotnej]

hmm, no, strangely ignite generated it with:
"react-native": "0.38.0",
"apisauce": "^0.6.0",

I'll try to upgrade the version and get back to you on this

Upgrading an existing project passed 0.40.0 is a bit of a bear. Check out https://twitter.com/skellock/status/818813810781908992 for some tips.

You should be able to upgrade apisauce to 0.8.0 without any stress.

[novotnej]

upgraded apisauce to 0.8.0 and still the same thing..

Don't forget to triple backtick your comments here.

{
  "hello": "there"
}

[skellock]

I'd love to see the full response object. Are you able to run this in Reactotron or Chrome Debugger so we can see the full request? (don't forget to xxxxx out any sensitive creds before posting here)

[novotnej]

aaaah.. I finally got to the bottom of it, kinda.. the data: "GET" was actually what the server responded, when it was accessed using unsupported method..

so the problem now is - why does this request get sent as GET, instead of POST?

can't run reactotron, it's a bit troublesome on Linux I'm afraid :/ but here's what I see:

[skellock]

The method is set to post though.

Do you think that your server might be expecting POST instead of post?

And that URL is the same one you're using in postman eh?
