HTTP request from Angular sent as OPTIONS instead of POST

Question

I\'m trying to send some HTTP requests from my angular.js application to my server, but I need to solve some CORS errors.

The HTTP request is made using the followin

Answer 1

The best is to

1. have proxy.conf.json set:

    {
      "/api": {
        "target": "http://localhost:8080",
        "secure": false,
        "logLevel": "debug",
        "changeOrigin": true
      }
    } 

2. And then to make sure that URL that you are using in angular to send a request is relative (/api/something) and not absolute (localhost:8080/api/something). Because in that case the proxy won't work.

Good luck!
