POST requests with payload are not send to endpoint

[zajca]

I run into this problem.

When I have proxy set like this:

  proxy: {
    '/api/':{ target: process.env.API_URL, pathRewrite: {'^/api/': ''}, logLevel: 'debug' }
  },
  axios: {
    proxy: true
  },

when I send post to url is processed by backed just fine
this.$axios.$post('/api/non-existing-url') -> 404

But when i set payload like this:

      this.$axios.$post('/jh-api/non-existing-url', {
        form': {}
      })
->
Request failed with status code 504
✖ error nuxt › proxy › [HPM] Error occurred while trying to proxy request non-existing-url from localhost:3000 to http://127.0.0.1:8082 (ECONNRESET) (https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors)

I fixed, with workaround of official github

chimurai/http-proxy-middleware#320

I fixed this issue by 'coexist-parser-proxy'. You should put it above bodyParser in nuxt.config.js

const bodyParser  = require('body-parser');

module.exports = {
  serverMiddleware: [
    'coexist-parser-proxy', // Needs to be before bodyParser
    bodyParser.json()
  ],
  proxy: {
    '/api': 'some url',
  }
}

This works for me, thx.

For future: is there a pathway to not have this workaround dependency?

const bodyParser = require('body-parser');

module.exports = {
serverMiddleware: [
'coexist-parser-proxy', // Needs to be before bodyParser
bodyParser.json()
],
proxy: {
'/api': 'some url',
}
}

Any updates on this? Are you guys still using this workaround?
