I'm trying to make https requests to the server using axios. Most of the tutorials regarding axios specify how to make http requests. I make the requests whenever users login. Here is my current request:
axios.post('/api/login/authentication', {
email: email,
password: password
})
.then(response => {
this.props.history.push('/MainPage')
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error)
})
Can anyone help me convert this to an https request?
All URLs have two parts
http://yourdomain.com/path-to-your-endpointIn axios, if you specify just the path, it will use the domain in the address bar by default.
For example, the code below will make a call to whatever domain is in your address bar and append this path to it. If the domain is http, your api request will be a http call and if the domain is https, the api request will be a https call. Usually localhost is http and you will be making http calls in localhost.
axios.post('/api/login/authentication', {
On the other hand, you can pass full URL to axios request and you will be making https calls by default.
axios.post('https://yourdomain.com/api/login/authentication', {
You can also set baseURL in axios
axios({
method: 'post',
baseURL: 'https://yourdomain.com/api/',
url: '/login/authentication',
data: {
email: email,
password: password
}
}).then(response => {
this.props.history.push('/MainPage')
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error)
});
Failed to load resource: An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made. and XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://localhost:3000/api/login/authentication due to access control checks. could this be another issue or one related to how I'm sending the request
http. 2. To enable https you need to setup certificates in your server.This may also work
headers: {
scheme: 'https',
},
