axios call to localhost splunk 404

[hgrbble1]

Hi I am using react.js and was wanting to use axios to make http request to the splunk rest api. I can curl my own local splunk with
curl -k https://localhost:8089/services/auth/login --data-urlencode username=admin --data-urlencode password=password
But when I try to do

`axios.post({
url: 'https://localhost:8089/services/auth/login',
data: {
username: 'username',
password: 'password'
}
})

    .then((response) => {
       console.log(response);
     })
     .catch((error) => {
       console.log(error);
       if (error.response) {
         console.log(error.response.data);
         console.log(error.response.status);
         console.log(error.response.headers);

       }
       else if (error.request) {
         console.log(error.request);
       }
       else {
         console.log('Error', error.message);
       }
       console.log(error.config);
     })`

I get a 404 error.
I am using free splunk when I am trying to connect.
Is the 404 error because of something to do with CORS?
I am also interested in maybe using the splunk javascript sdk but when I read about the related issue(#61) I have no idea where to start and how to use browserify.
Any help is much appreciated thanks!

Hi @hgrbble1, you should use the auth property instead of data to use basic auth with axios.

The 404 seems a bit odd, but is most likely related to CORS.

Click the link in my comment on #61, I have a short example of how to run browserify.

I can get a response back from the https call in postman when I turn off ssl. When ssl is turned on I can not get access to it. I am using free splunk on my laptop.

This issue doesn't seem related to the SDK according to you previous comment, please re-open if you find that the issue is related to the SDK specifically.
