POST request not allowed - 405 Not Allowed - nginx, even with headers included

Question

I have a problem in trying to do a POST request in my application and I searched a lot, but I did not find the solution.

So, I have a nodeJS application and a website, and I am trying to do a POST request using a form from this site, but I always end up in this:

and in the console I see :

    Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of null  Post "http://name.github.io/APP-example/file.html " not allowed 

that is in this line of code :

file.html:

<form id="add_Emails" method ="POST" action="">      <textarea rows="5" cols="50" name="email">Put the emails here...     </textarea>          <p>         <INPUT type="submit" onclick="sendInvitation()" name='sendInvitationButton' value ='Send Invitation'/>         </p>   </form>  <script src="scripts/file.js"></script> 

file.js:

function sendInvitation(){      var teammateEmail= document.getElementById("email").value; 

I read many post and a documentation of cross domain but it did not work. research source 1:http://enable-cors.org/server.html research source 2: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/CR-cors-20130129/#http-access-control-max-age

What I am doing now:

I am trying to POST from a different domain of my server :

POST REQUEST : http://name.github.io/APP-example/file.html , github repository

POST LISTENER : "http://xxx.xxx.x.xx:9000/email , server localhost ( x-> my ip address)

So, I had the same problem in other files, but I fixed it putting this code in the begginning of each route:

var express = require('express'); var sha1 = require('sha1');   var router = express.Router();  var sessionOBJ = require('./session');  var teams = {}  var teamPlayers = []  router.all('*', function(req, res, next) {   res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");   res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With");   res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "PUT, GET,POST");   next();  }); 

and I fixed it doing it.

Now, I am having the same problem, but in this file the only difference is that I deal with SMTP and emails, so I post an email and send an Email to this email I received in the POST request.

THe code is working totally fine with POSTMAN, so, when I test with POSTMAN it works and I can post.

I included this code below instead of the first one I showed but it did not work as well:

router.all('*', function(req, res, next){             res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*")             res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST, GET, OPTIONS")             res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, Content-Type, Accept")             res.header("Access-Control-Max-Age", "1728000")             next();         }); 

Does someone know how to solve it?

Thank you.

This configuration to your nginx.conf should help you.
