How do I send a post request to Cloudfront?

Question

I can't send a post request to Cloudfront that I set up for my Ec2s. I get the 404 and 400 error. How do I request requests to my EC2 machines via cloudfront?

Answer 1

This is because by default the Allowed HTTP Methods for a CloudFront distribution are GET, HEAD.

From the console perform the following:

• Click on your distribution
• Click on the Behaviours tab.
• Select your behaviour and click Edit
• Under the Allowed HTTP Methods select GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PUT, POST, PATCH, DELETE
• Click Yes, Edit

This process might take upt an hour to rollout to all Edge locations, but normally is much quicker.

Below is a screenshot of the option from the interface.
