I developed my web application with Angular 8. The backend is a rest api that I developed with django rest framework and it's viewed just in the localhost. I tested it and it works fine. For example the service http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/devices gives a list of devices. It gives a good results if I test it with browser or curl command.
I'm calling this service from my angular app. I executed the angular app with the command: ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4201
If I open the web application in the browser with http://127.0.0.1:4201/api/devices the service /api/devices is well called and I get the list of devices in my web page. but if I open the web application with my LAN IP address like that http://192.168.1.59:4201/api/devices, so I get HTTP 400 bad request error in my console.
And the same error is shown in django server traces: GET /api/devices/ HTTP/1.1" 400 26
After some searches in the internet I concluded that this error is frequently coming from angular app especially the proxy: my proxy config file proxy.config.json is:
{
"/api" : {
"target": "http://localhost:8000",
"secure": false
}
}
I mad other searches and I found an answer to similar question Angular 6 call localhost API and after following the angular doc https://angular.io/guide/build in "Proxying to a backend server" section then I modified my proxy config file to:
{
"/api": {
"target": "http://localhost:8000",
"secure": false,
"pathRewrite": {
"^/api": ""
}
}
}
Has any one an idea what can be the main cause of the issue? and how I can fix it?
