POST http://127.0.0.1:5500/add 405 (Method Not Allowed)

Question

Could you help me solve this error? It seems that I can not connect between server.js and app.js.

What I want to do is: display the result of the postData('/add', {answer:42}); and postData('/addMovie', {movie:'the matrix', score:5}); in the console.

Thank you for your help in advance.

[Addition] Thank you for your feedback!! I changed the port in server.js, but nothing changed. port5500

Answer 1

The issue was resolved.

// when using local server ( ? server.js in this case)
postData('/add', {answer:42});
postData('/addMovie', {movie:'the matrix', score:5});

// when using live server
postData('http://localhost:5500/add', {answer:42});
postData('http://localhost:5500/addMovie', {movie:'the matrix', score:5});
