Method override support for POST, PUT, Delete Methods

[raviroshan]

Expected behavior

Flexibility to override the HTTP methods as the API may not support the user requested methods.

Actual behavior

Not able to override HTTP methods.

Setup

• server: webpac-dev-server

I am using webpack-dev-server as a proxy to my original API URL to avoid CORS related issues and dynamically pointing to Dev, UAT, Mock server URL based on the environments.

For Mock dev - I prefer to use the JSON from the local file system and it servers its purpose for all the GET request.

One possible approach may be - Overriding the HTTP Request methods to GET as I am not passing any payload. But I can't find any configuration for that.

making use of onProxyReq event worked for me

onProxyReq: function(proxyReq, req, res) {
    // convert all api requests (POST/PUT/DELETE) to GET so they work in webpack dev server for mocking
    proxyReq.method =  'GET';
}
