Question on how remix loader handles external requests

[myeljoud]

Hello there,

I have this problem where when I do a fetch with a POST method to and external service I have from my loader, it seems that the request happens as a GET request, I'm confused because when I change the fetch method to anything other than POST the request gets executed as that method.

The API accepts only POST requests, mind you I can make the request from another client like Postman or Thunder Client, and it works fine but when making it from the loader I get "405 Method not allowed" even though the method is set to POST.

Is there something I'm missing on how Remix handles external requests inside loaders?

If you could share more code on how you do it that would be helpful. Remix doesn't affect the way you use fetch in your app, so there may be something else happening.

Hello @sergiodxa,

Thanks so much for your response! It really boosted my confidence and helped me realize that the error might be from the API itself. Turns out, you were right—the API was redirecting my fetch from a POST to a GET, causing the error. Problem solved now!

Thanks a ton!
