Tutorial uses POST with SimpleHTTPServer #1
Comments
Nice catch. Wanna send a PR to the react repo? |
I was going to open an issue about that and then saw that simonwhitaker already did that. When I did the tutorial I thought I did something wrong and spend an hour of googling the issue: I then went to this repo and took your server.js and it worked. So this should really be updated to prevent frustration. Thank you anyway! |
is this still need to be done ? |
We still need to update the tutorial on the site but the project here no longer uses simple server. |
I encountered this same issue - it would be good to update the tutorial =]. |
501 error when try to post comments using python -m simpleHTTPServer as a server, i can see node, python, ruby servers in repo but i think this should be pointed in documentation |
I ran into the same 501 error using the POST request in the simpleHTTPServer method. Thanks for creating a PR simonwhitaker. |
+1 to Simon's PR. Looks like everything is there. I actually wrote out my own solution before learning (through Simon) that a server solution already exists in the repo. |
This caused me about 2 hours of despair before finding this issue, so sure I'd done everything right following the tutorial perfectly.. :( +1 Simon's PR looks pretty worthwhile |
@zpao kinda lost track here, what's happening? |
facebook/react#2824, which is similar to @simonwhitaker's PR. Or we could go back to his and tweak it some. |
Updating the website shortly with newer docs so this is fine to close now. |
Someone should just link to this issue in the tutorial. |
Fix typo and minor wording
The tutorial suggests using
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
to serve content, but subsequently introduces a mechanism for submitting comments via a POST request, whichSimpleHTTPServer
doesn't support. It appears that at this point the tutorial assumes you're using the sample node.js server packaged with the tutorial's GitHub repo but that isn't explained.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
