Writing a new service. (Will be free for now)

Writing up an Ajax PUT request and when it executes, I see an options request firing, that's good.

But no fucking PUT request afterwards!?

WHAT WHY FUCK ME HELP 😢

Check the browser message. Probably a missing header on the options request

@PerfectAsshole Will do tomorrow, thanks :)

@linuxxx is PUT even supported? The last time i tried it was not supported.

@stop why won't it?

Probably a CORS error. The network/console tab of the Browser DevTools should reveal more details

Cors issue. Wasted an hour this weekend thinking my code wasn't working. You can verify using a public facing API and see if it works with a non local api

Will Postman help?

I fought with this a lot. The consumer service has to provide a valid response that tells how to use the endpoint. The options call is a browser preflight, and the put request is aborted (usually with error) if the preflight gives incorrect information about how to consume the route

@jschmold This.

Yep, must be a CORS issue. Had this problem with an ExpressJS API once.

@badcopnodonuts Using insomnia as rest testing tool :)

@linuxxx same, insomnia is great because if you use it you can finally GET some REST

@needToRoll oh my god don't tell me that's where the name comes from

@asgs @mszaf It was cors although I did set the appropriate headers, they're entirely ignored apparently.

@jschmold @Root Even with returning the correct information as for the options request, it just stops afterwards. I hacked around it for now.

@linuxxx
Shoot me an email. I have had to fight with weird request issues a lot

@jschmold Will do when I'm at a computer again!

@git-gud well, it is part of their advertising

Hey linuxxx,

sorry for the late reply. I have sent you an email with my tox id :)

@404response Awesome, will look at it when I'm home again!
