Question
All my express endpoints are getting redirected to GET requests on app platform

Asked by Tom Caflisch
I have an express project which I deployed to app platform and it currently has 2 endpoints - GET /trades and POST /trades.
Locally they both hit their respective handler code but when deployed to app platform i’m seeing that my POST request is getting redirected from a POST to a GET request.
Is this expected and is there a way to not have app platform do this?

Hey there!
Are those requests being issued over HTTP? App Platform forces HTTPS so if the request is made over HTTP it will be redirected which could change the request to a GET. I’d recommend making sure those POST requests are using HTTPS to not go through the HTTPS redirect.
Hope it helps! Nate
