x-www-form-urlencoded

Hi.
Header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
Not working...
Error:
[HPM] Proxy error: ECONNRESET. localhost -> "api.*.com/oauth/token"

Please provide more information:
https://github.com/chimurai/http-proxy-middleware/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

Can you provide a minimal working example, if you think it is a bug?

[stigmat4j]

My request

export function fetchToken(data) {
  let body = {
    username: data.email,
    password: data.password,
  };
  return fetch(`/oauth/token`, {
    method: 'post',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  })
  .then((r) => r.json());
}

My server.js

const proxy = proxyMiddleware(['/api', '/oauth'], {
  target: 'http://api.tradeintel.com/',
  xfwd: true   (meybe???)
});

app.use(proxy);

Other requests with 'Content-Type: application\json' is good working.

P.S. Sorry for my English.

Don't see a weird config..

Did you try the changeOrigin option?
Assuming your target server is an vhost server. (shared ip)

const proxy = proxyMiddleware(['/api', '/oauth'], {
  target: 'http://api.tradeintel.com/',
  changeOrigin: true
});

[stigmat4j]

No, changeOrigin did not help

Try checking this thread: #40 (comment)

If you are using multiple middlewares, make sure http-proxy-middleware is on top.
The order is might matter.

[stigmat4j]

Yeah!
I'm commented

// app.use(parser.json());
// app.use(parser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));

It works :)
Thx!

[chimurai]

Np!

@chimurai After all these years, this issue has cost me quite some time. I think it's worthwhile adding a mention about other default/built-in middleware possibly messing with this one. I understand not everyone uses Express, yet I bet many do, so a few lines in the README would save a bunch of time for many folks and improve the UX overall, I think. ✌️
