I am working on a website where the person has to login first. On login, I make a fetch POST request to an endpoint defined in the server. When I login, and logout 6 consecutive times, i.e. login - logout - login - logout .. at the 6th time, I logout, and can't login again. The server doesn't accept anymore requests from the client until I refresh the browser, and then it works for 6 more times.
I've read that there is a 5 requests limit imposed on HTTP requests that are not consumed, even though many people said this limit has been removed. I am not using the HTTP module. I am creating my endpoints on the express instance.
Here's a snippet of two of my endpoints:
const app = express();
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.json(getPost('all'))
})
app.post('/register/:user', async (req, res)=>{
addUser(req.params.user)
})
Can anybody tell me how do I fix this issue? Do I try to increase the number of allowed requests ..? Do I "consume" the requests? How do I do that?
Add a response to your post request.
app.post('/register/:user', async (req, res)=>{
addUser(req.params.user); // this function doesn't respond to the request
res.sendStatus(200); // something like this does!
})
