Http-proxy-middleware: Proxy not working with preflight OPTIONS request of the browser

[marcelschulze]

Proxy not working with preflight OPTIONS request of the browser. It will run into a timeout with BadRequestError: request aborted.

It is working as intended if I initiate directly a POST request with e.g. "Postman".

Setup

app.use(cors());
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(
        '/xyz',
        proxy({
            target: 'http://localhost:8082',
            changeOrigin: true,
        })
    );

Any ideas or possible solution to this problem?

Looks like it is related to the bodyParser.... Moved the proxy on top and it works.
