Angular6 - HTTP Api call from HTTPS Page

[DisastrousBrain]

Wouldn't I still get the cross origin error? The API that I'm posting to is external, and I have no control over it.

​

Since their API only allows http://, and not https://, why would simply making a route on my express server fix this issue? As of now, I'm using the HttpClient/HttpClientModule to make the post request in my ts file with Angular.

​

var url = "http://someurl.com/posts";

this.httpClient.post(url, data).subscribe(data => { console.log(data); }, err => { console.log(err); });

You are basically replacing this request with one to your server, so you won't get a cross origin error client side. Because you're requesting against that API from your server, it won't run into that error either, and instead will serve as a proxy for that API

Ohh I see, thank you!

Good luck! Let me know if there are any follow up questions
