Vscode-live-server: Status Code: 405 Method Not Allowed

[MaxMan79]

[ ] Regression (a behavior that used to work and stopped working in a new release)

Current behavior

This is a duplicate of Issues #54 and #66, but they have been closed. I have tried the suggestions in Issue #54, but they did not work for me (i.e. running on a different port and killing any task running on port 5500).

I have a simple HTML form with method="post". When the form is submitted, Live Server returns a 405 Method Not Allowed. Looking in the browser Developer Tools, the Response header has "Allow: GET, HEAD, OPTIONS".

Expected behavior

I would expect Live Server to not serve back a 405 error :)

Browser:

- [x] Chrome (desktop) version 76.0.3809.100 (64-bit)

- [ ] IE version XX
- [ ] Edge version XX

I managed to figure out what it was on my end. I was trying to get a package running (in particular, JQuery File Manager) and the package was trying to use Node.JS server calls to get the files on my server. Since it was only running through Live Server and not an actual Node server, it freaked out and this error was brought up. My fix was to actually transform my project into a real Node server.

Yea, I stopped using LiveServer in favor of using Node.

I think my issue is/was the same too.

I found the same issue:
$.ajax('data/addToCart.json', { type: 'POST', dataType: 'json', contentType: 'application/json' })

Once I switch from Live Server to NodeJS's node-http-server the issue was no longer happening.

Same issue. Just stopped using Live Server in VS Code.

Dropping live server extension seems to solve it for most.

headers: {
Accept: 'application/json',
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},

});
