ASP.Net Core 2.2 通过 NGINX 部署在 Linux 上，POST 请求返回 HTTP 错误 400

Question

I am deploying a simple asp.net core app that uses only the home controller and a single post method. We have two internal networks one being only Windows machines and the other being only Linux machines. The asp core app has been deployed via NGINX on the linux side. To clarify I can view the website from the Window's side through the Linux Login node's IP Address 10.10.40.50:8081 as the URL. To view the website from the Linux side on the machine hosting the site, it is just localhost:5000.

The post method simply takes a single input and returns a corresponding pdf file to the input, and is as follows:

[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<IActionResult> Create(string label) {
            if (ModelState.IsValid && label.Length > 0) {
                string newLabel = label.Trim().Split(' ')[0].ToUpper();
                if (fstickChecker.Contains(newLabel )) {
                    var pdf = await CreatePDF(newLabel);
                    return pdf;
                }
                else {
                    return RedirectToAction("Index", new RouteValueDictionary(new { action = "Index", err = "Invalid label selected" }));
                }
            }
            return View();
        }

The razor code:

 <form method="post" action="/Home/Create">
                        @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
                        <input size="60" type="text" name="label" class="form-control" id="labeler" placeholder="Enter Label" style="float:left;">
                        <div class="rotator-buttons" style="padding-top:45px;">
                            <button type="submit" class=" btn btn-01 t-white" style="float:left; height:40px;width:140px;background-color:#706552">Create PDF</button>
                        </div>
                    </form>

The post method operates correctly when run on a Windows machine via the VS 2017 debugger and from the linux machine hosting it (ie when using the localhost:5000 address).

However it fails when viewing the site from the Windows side (ie the 10.10.40:8081).

There is a GET method (named Search) which provides Search Engine type functionality in the textbox where the label is entered that operates correctly under all circumstances so it appears just the POST method is failing for whatever reason.

My program.cs portion:

public class Program {
        public static void Main(string[] args) {
            CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
        }

        public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
            WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
                .UseStartup<Startup>();
    }

My startup.cs file

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env) {
        app.UseStaticFiles();
            if (env.IsDevelopment()) {
                app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
            }
            else {
                app.UseExceptionHandler("/Home/Error");
            }


            //app.UseCookiePolicy();

            app.UseMvc(routes => {
                routes.MapRoute(
                    name: "default",
                    template: "{controller=Home}/{action=Index}/{id?}");
            });
        }

The NGINX sites-available file (where I think the issue is probably coming from) is:

I have found some related stackoverflow questions but none of them were able to fix my problem. 400 status error when posting form data in ASP.Net Core and .net core nginx hosting sockets doesn't allow http post

Answer 1

I ended up changing the POST request for "Create" to a GET, and that solved the issue. Not ideal, but for my situation I could get away with it.
