I wrote a simple server

var express = require('express')
var app = express()
app.post('/', function(req, res){
   res.send('hi')
})
app.listen(3000, ()=>{
console.log('listening on 3000')
})

I deployed it on the server post don't responding till I send a get request to it what is the problem? It works on localhost but not on the server

Server OS is ubuntu 16.04 I know it's on port 3000 and I know it's a post method so I send post request please don't mention it.

There is no problem with code I think problem is related to Ubuntu. Any changes should I make?

How did you send your post request? – generalhenry May 07 '18 at 22:03
I sent it via Postman – Ali Rasooli May 07 '18 at 22:20
Your code works just fine, I've just tried with `curl -X POST` and with Postman, I get the "hi" response in both cases. Are you sending your POST request to port 3000 ? – Ki Jéy May 07 '18 at 22:26
I said it works on localhost but on the server it works only after I send any get request – Ali Rasooli May 07 '18 at 22:28
What do you get when you make a `POST` request for the first time? – AbhinavD May 08 '18 at 00:08
Nothing postman keeps sending no response and server is not logging anything – Ali Rasooli May 08 '18 at 03:16
How are you deploying it? Share the domain please. – Farhan Tahir May 08 '18 at 07:47
any chance you're on an https environment? perhaps you need to do a preflight request first: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29954326/3194525 – maaw May 26 '18 at 15:26
@maaw No I don't use https. – Ali Rasooli May 26 '18 at 15:31
