Same thing for me... Unable to make a POST request to the slack API.

this.$axios.$post('https://hooks.slack.com/services/...', JSON.stringify(data))
.then(response => {
   //
})
.catch(error => {
   //
})

The method is always OPTIONS instead of POST

Hi. Sorry, I was not able to respond fast. Actually, this is browser that makes Two requests One Options for preflight and secondly the real request. If you have CORS problems with slack I would recommend enabling proxy mode.

{
  axios: { proxy: true },
  proxy: {
    '/services': 'https://hooks.slack.com/services'
  }

Then simply making requests to the same domain:

this.$axios.$post('/services/...', data)

hi @Try-Parser

How did you solve this problem?
Thanks

[Try-Parser]

@gomezmark it is usually sending two request The first is OPTIONS to test and if the first request is successfull then it will send the second request its actually it is the behavior of the cors preflight so you need to add the OPTIONS or Support some HTTP verbs in your API and if your using some custom headers you need to add those also in your global cors in server side

@Try-Parser
Great thanks!
But it only occurs on IE and Mozilla.
Anyways, it is now working on my end.
Thanks!

I had this exact same problem with a route on my API that ended with links, e.g. /api/quick-links. I don't know why, but every API route I tried that ended with links would send the OPTIONS request. Changing the route to end with linkz (or anything else) fixed the problem. I don't know if this was a problem with Nuxt, Axios, or my API.
