[FIXED] Flask handle POST as GET

Issue

currently i have a Problem, where i send a POST Request but request.method returns 'GET'. any idea?

my Code:

@app.route('/login1', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def login1():
    print(request.method)
    print(request.form)
    print(request.values)
    print(request.get_data())
    print(request.get_json())
    if request.method == 'POST':
        print("POST!!!")
    print(request)
    return str(request.is_json)```

JSON:
{
    "username": "[email protected]",
    "password": "test"
}

Solution

I assume, that you submit a form before you check if there was any request. If not try this:

1. Create a form

<form method="post">
   <input type="text" name="username">
   <input type="submit value="Login">
</form>

2. Check for any request

from flask import Flask, request

@app.route('/login1', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def login1():
   if request.method == 'POST:
      # do something

You can also make a request via a button, a hyperlink and various other html objects. Sheers!
