axios.post sends a GET request

Summary

This code should send a POST request, but sends a GET request ! It happens only when my app is deployed on my production server. But the bug happens before reaching the back-end so I don’t understand what is happening and why it is related to the environment. No problem on my local machine.

axios.post('/api/admin/tags/', formData)
         .then((response) => {
             console.log(response.data);
         })
         .catch((error) => {
             console.log(error.response.data);
         });

Context

• axios version: v0.17.1

OK just found the solution ! https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47208440/axios-xmlhttprequest-is-sending-get-instead-of-post-in-production-environment

this was caused the trailing slash at the end of the request URI, which was causing a 301 redirect. The POST request was not visible in the XHR tab of Chrome’s debug console.

Same here, some api routes need tail ‘/’, I just skipped it and it automatically does a GET request
