Even though I've specified method: "POST" node-fetch still uses get

[flamekiller22]

This is the code I'm using:

async authorize(credentials, req) {
        const payload = {
          email: credentials.email,
          password: credentials.password
        }

        const res = await fetch(`${process.env.API_URL}auth/login`, {
          method: 'post',
          body: JSON.stringify(payload),
          headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
          }
        });

        const user = await res.json()

        if (!res.ok || user?.method === "GET") {
          console.log('Auth response:', user);
          throw new Error('Invalid Username & Password combination!');
        }

        if (res.ok && user) {
          return user;
        }

        console.log('Auth response:', user);
        return null
      }

  this is the response I get:
  NOTE: the api responds with { method: "GET" } if using get.
  
  `Auth response: { method : 'GET' }`

And yes I tried using method: "POST" rather than method: "post"

Found the problem.
Turns out when following a redirect it does not honour the method and just uses GET.
Not sure if this is expected behaviour or a bug so leaving this in Q&A for now.

This depends on the status code of the redirect. 301 and 302 will switch to GET, while 307 and 308 will preserve the method. So it's a server configuration issue.
