Unable to receive requests using HTTP DELETE/PUT/PATCH handlers

[Aynn]

Seems to work fine with the any method and I can see the appropriate method being listed under the req.getHeader('access-control-request-method') header but for some reason I can get these handlers work using their respective methods.

Can you post the full code you are using? probably doing something wrong?

Server (not working):

  .del('/', (res, req) => {
    let origin =  req.getHeader('origin')
    res.writeHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', origin);
    res.writeHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true');    
    res.end();
  })

Server (working):

  .any('/', (res, req) => {
    let origin =  req.getHeader('origin')
    res.writeHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', origin);
    res.writeHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true');    
    res.end();
  })

Client:

    fetch('http://localhost:9001/', {
        method: 'DELETE',
    })
    .then(result=>{
        result.text().then(data=>console.log(data))
    })
    .catch(err=>console.log(err))

Okay - Not sure what I was doing wrong but seems to be working fine now :| Thanks for the help! I will close this now.

I will leave this comment here in case someone runs into a similar issue.

I was testing my API through an application served on a different port (both localhost), this made it a cross site request.

Cross site requests get processed into two calls an options call to ensure the server accepts the type of request you're trying to make and then the actual call you intended to make.

In order to to use non get/post routes I had to setup an .options route to with the appropriate Access-Control-Allow-Origin and Access-Control-Allow-Methods.

Hope that helps!
