A GET request is sent to the RAG API resulting in a 405.

[swiftdev29]

What happened?

I have deployed a RAG API on HF, it is up and running, however, on setting the required API URL in LC’s RAG_API_URL, it sends a GET request for some reason which is resulting in a 405. Any idea why ?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Deploy a RAG API on HF
2. Set the API in LC
3. Upload a file. A GET request is sent

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

RAG API is hosted on a common port (8000).

Likely some service may be pinging it, at least this is the case for me even in a windows environment. You can change the port with RAG_PORT in the .env file

Ah okay. My Port is currently set to 7860. Do i need to change it?

[danny-avila]

Change it to another port that works for you, see if it's still happening. I was also confused by this on my end but then noticed the request was coming from VS Code (in my case, windows env).

Yep just tried with 8000 as well. Libre chat keeps sending GET requests.
root - INFO - Request GET http:// /embed - 405
It doesnt seem to be an issue with the port. I am assuming that RAG is configured for POST requests? Why is LC sending a GET then .

@danny-avila An update to this. I tried running it locally as well and same issue. It is sending a GET request. I sent a POST request spearately to the RAG API and it seems to work. Is LibreChat configured to send GET requests? Or is it something to do with my RAG API URL? It is of the form http://myspace.myspace.hf.space

Update 2: I think it IS infact something to do with the URL. I ran RAG on render which has a standard .com domain and it sent a POST request like it should and worked perfectly.
This can probably only be fixed from your end
