Current behavior

This is a duplicate of Issues #54 and #66, but they have been closed. I have tried the suggestions in Issue #54, but they did not work for me (i.e. running on a different port and killing any task running on port 5500).

I have a simple HTML form with method=“post”. When the form is submitted, Live Server returns a 405 Method Not Allowed. Looking in the browser Developer Tools, the Response header has “Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS”.

Expected behavior

I would expect Live Server to not serve back a 405 error 😃

Same issue. Just stopped using Live Server in VS Code.

I found the same issue: $.ajax('data/addToCart.json', { type: 'POST', dataType: 'json', contentType: 'application/json' })

Once I switch from Live Server to NodeJS’s node-http-server the issue was no longer happening.
