How to enable post method

Support
1

HI team, How I can enable post method for the API. Its working with get but not with post.

I tried below but still not working.

“proxy”: {
“listen_path”: “/CloudGateway/rest/”,
“target_url”: “https://ip-10-10-31-38.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal:8443/CloudGateway/rest/”,
“strip_listen_path”: false
“methods”: [“GET”, “POST”],

I am getting below error:

curl -X POST https://ec2-18-142-155-240.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8080/CloudGateway/rest/ --insecure -u “cibadmin:admin”
“Unsupported endpoint:CloudGateway”

get is working fine.

Hi @saloni512, could you try the call against your upstream? Tyk errors usually come in json format so it appears this is coming from your backend.

upstraem call is working fine:

[[email protected] ~]$ curl -X POST https://ec2-18-142-155-240.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com:8443/CloudGateway/rest/ --insecure -u “cibadmin:admin”
[[email protected] ~]$

Could you share your full API definition? I can see a “methods” child property of “proxy” that does not exist in our docs.

Also, the gateway logs would be pretty useful.

HI Olu, I have resolved it. For the post request it was adding listen path to the target url so url forming was "POST /CloudGateway/rest/CloudGateway/rest/ and was throwing the error.

I have removed context from target url and its working like below:

“proxy”: {
“preserve_host_header”: false,
“listen_path”: “/CloudGateway/rest/”,
“target_url”: “https://ip-10-10-31-38.ap-southeast-1.compute.internal:8443”,
“disable_strip_slash”: false,
“strip_listen_path”: false,
“enable_load_balancing”: false,
“target_list”: null,
“check_host_against_uptime_tests”: false,
“service_discovery”: {
“use_discovery_service”: false,
“query_endpoint”: “”,
“use_nested_query”: false,
“parent_data_path”: “”,
“data_path”: “”,
“port_data_path”: “”,
“target_path”: “”,
“use_target_list”: false,
“cache_timeout”: 0,
“endpoint_returns_list”: false

But just a small question If I want to enable different methods How I can enable. Can you Please suggest.

All methods are enabled by default. There is no special place to enable the HTTP methods, however, you can disable everything but a few methods or endpoints using whitelist. Example below

"extended_paths": {
	"url_rewrites": [],
	"track_endpoints": [],
	"white_list": [
		{
			"path": "",
			"ignore_case": false,
			"method_actions": {
				"POST": {
					"action": "no_action",
					"code": 200,
					"headers": {}
				}
			}
		}
	]
}

Or you can simply blacklisting an endpoint or method if you chose instead. Implementing a blacklist on an endpoint works the same as whitelist. Hope this helps.
