Axios post request on / in proxy in create-react-app?

[gpbaculio]

so I have this in my package.json proxy in create-react-app:

"proxy": "http://www.myapi.com"
my post requests works on other routes:

axios.post('/v1/users', { // http://www.myapi.com/v1/users
            email: email,
            password: password
        })
        .then((response) => { 
            this.setState((state, props) => ({
                registrationSuccess: true
            }));
        })
        .catch((error) => {
            this.setState((state, props) => ({
                registrationError: true
            }));
        });

but when I want to make post request on root, this works on postman, like on http://www.myapi.com it fails, this fails:

 axios.post('/', { // http://www.myapi.com
                email: email,
                password: password
            })

it will make post request on localhost:3000/, but I want to make post request on http://www.myapi.com proxy. help?

Hi did you find any solution to this ? I am experiencing the same prolem without finding any solution nor explanation so far.

Having the same issue here as well. It seems like my axios.post requests are not utilizing the proxy config. My get requests work fine.

I'll close because there is no reproducing project. If you provide one we can take a look.

I have reproduced this issue here. I am not sure if this is expected behaviour or a bug. Just to be clear, the issue is that the post requests to / don't get proxied to the specified server.

I see. I think this won't be a priority for us to fix, but if you send a PR we can take a look.

I tried to fix this. The best solution I could think of was to proxy all requests that do not have GET method. I assumed that all the requests to the webpack-dev-server will be using GET method. So its fine to use the proxy if specified and the method is not GET.
