'Create react app proxy doesn't redirect request

I have created react app with create-react-app

So the backed server listens on port 5000. The react server listens on port 3000.

I added this line "proxy": "http://localhost:5000" to package JSON. Now when I do a request like this:

GET /api/hello HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.102
Content-Type: application/json

to the react app. I get this message:

+IPD,420:HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
X-Powered-By: Express
Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 148
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Date: Sat, 03 Nov 2018 11:18:11 GMT
Connection: keep-alive

<pre>Cannot GET /api/hello</pre>

Sorry I found the mistake I have made. I misunderstood the create-react-app documentation.

It says:

Any unrecognized request without a text/html accept header will be redirected to the specified proxy.

Instead of putting Accept: application/json in the request header I put Content-Type: application/json. Which is wrong.
