Flask-CORS not working for POST, but working for GET
<p>I'm running a Flask-Restful API locally and sending a POST request containing JSON from a different port. I'm getting the error</p>

<pre><code>No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
</code></pre>

<p>However, when I run</p>

<pre><code>curl --include -X OPTIONS http://localhost:5000/api/comments/3
        --header Access-Control-Request-Method:POST
        --header Access-Control-Request-Headers:Content-Type
        --header Origin:http://localhost:8080
</code></pre>

<p>I get</p>

<pre><code>HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Allow: HEAD, GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:8080
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: DELETE, GET, HEAD, OPTIONS, PATCH, POST, PUT
Vary: Origin
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type
Content-Length: 0
</code></pre>

<p>which shows "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" as "*". GET works fine, it's just POST that gives this error. What could be going wrong? If relevant, for the frontend I'm using react and requesting through axios.</p>
