HTTP request method not allowed

Hello.

When attempting to perform any HTTP request method on some https url I’m getting some CloudFront errors which I’ve never encountered before. Below is an example of a response body.

What is needed to be done to overcome this?

Hi @rdt.one

I believe this might be an issue related to your cloudfront configuration, rather than with k6 directly? From what I can read online based on the issue you report, you have k6 perform an HTTP request using a method that the cloudfront endpoint is not configured to accept?

It would be super helpful to post an anonymized example script illustrating your use case in k6. Would you be comfortable sharing that?

Let me know if that’s helpful :bowing_man:

Hi @oleiade.

Thanks for replying. Please find below the script.

import {JOIN_PRESENTATION} from "../util/endpoint.js";
import http from 'k6/http';

export let options = {
  stages: [
    { duration: '1s', target: 1 }
  ],
  thresholds: {
    http_req_duration: ['p(99)<1500'], // 99% of requests must complete below 1.5s
  },
};

export default function loadEvents() {

  let joinPresentationPayload = `...`;

  http.put(JOIN_PRESENTATION, joinPresentationPayload, {
    headers: {
      'content-type': 'application/json',
    },
  });

}

@oleiade this is solved now. I did mistakenly change the api host with the web url :upside_down_face:. Case closed.

Glad that was somehow helpful, and you found a solution :+1:
