Not able to use an endpoint on railway but all other are working fine

I have an app where I have 2 apis, one is post request to create the users data and other post request to run a function. I am not sure why one of them works and other says CORS error while connecting from frontend which is built on next.js These both api endpoints are running fine when testing from postman with the deployed production link and locally as well. But the problem is one of the api is not working if hitting it from the frontend.

I have "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header in frontend configured with "*" and backend with    
   allow_origins=["*"], 
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
    expose_headers=["*"],

I have "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header in frontend configured with "*" and backend with    
   allow_origins=["*"], 
    allow_credentials=True,
    allow_methods=["*"],
    allow_headers=["*"],
    expose_headers=["*"],

Can anyone help me with this

are you sure you are using https

exotic4599OP•2y ago

yes

youridb•2y ago

shouldn't allow_origins be "*"? just to check wether it works

Brody•2y ago

discord formatting error

youridb•2y ago

ah right haha mb

exotic4599OP•2y ago

yes @Youri allow_origins is * actually all are *

Brody•2y ago

op, please enclose all multiline code with three back-ticks

exotic4599OP•2y ago

ok done with 3 back ticks

Brody•2y ago

okay now can you send two full urls, one url that does work and one that doesn't work

exotic4599OP•2y ago

how will it help?

Brody•2y ago

it should help me get a better understanding of what's actually going on you can't request an https service from a site running on http

exotic4599OP•2y ago

but other urls are working how is it possible?

Brody•2y ago

I assume localhost was your frontend, and the railway domain was your backend?

exotic4599OP•2y ago

yes

Brody•2y ago

when developing locally, run the backend locally too, that way both services will be running on http and you will be free to make requests

exotic4599OP•2y ago

ok, so will then be any error if I also deploy the frontend somewhere where it has https?

Brody•2y ago

you can even run a local self signed https server for development, but yeah as long as both services run on the same http/https you won't have issues accessing HTTPS over http

exotic4599OP•2y ago

Thanks @Brody , will try it, Also do you have any explanation to why other api endpoints are working and not this one? All are having the same configuration

Brody•2y ago

not sure

exotic4599OP•2y ago

ok no worries, will try it out and ping here if problem persists

Brody•2y ago

no need for a ping, that kinda breaks the server rules

exotic4599OP•2y ago

ok will update the status here, thanks

exotic4599OP•2y ago

@Brody look this please, still the same one

Brody•2y ago

you received a status code of 500, that's the bigger issue here

exotic4599OP•2y ago

can we use the server to store lets say a text file in the github repository thats been hosted with railway?

Brody•2y ago

explain your usecase

exotic4599OP•2y ago

lets say I send a file and want the server to store it in the github repository and then use it when its required? the git repo is the same which is hosted as server

Brody•2y ago

you want to use a storage bucket like cloudflare r2

exotic4599OP•2y ago

oh, is it so? Can't I just save it in the folder itself? Cause, I know we can do that in database but I am curious about this

Brody•2y ago

railway doesnt have persistent storage yet, but if it is just a text file, you can use redis?

exotic4599OP•2y ago

oh, but it can atleast load the text files from some of the folders in the github, right? by giving relative paths

Brody•2y ago

yes you can do that, as long as you never write to the file, since the changes wont be saved across deployments

exotic4599OP•2y ago

but I get the error: resource temporarily not available when I try to load a text file from the folder

Brody•2y ago

but using your github repo as a storage space is not advisable

exotic4599OP•2y ago

yeah, but this is an MVP so its okay in this case

Brody•2y ago

how big is the text file?

exotic4599OP•2y ago

the text file is probably 4 mb

Brody•2y ago

show the full error please

exotic4599OP•2y ago

give me some time

Brody•2y ago

what language is this anyway?

exotic4599OP•2y ago

python and typescript

Brody•2y ago

python and ts????

exotic4599OP•2y ago

yes, why what happened?

Brody•2y ago

nothing just odd to combine those two

exotic4599OP•2y ago

is there any disadvantage in this combination?

I don't know what you are doing, so I couldn't say
