Why does my angular/express GET work but not POST? - angularjs

Question

Here how my button's set up. The Updates.getUpdates is working. Updates.postAnUpdate returns 404
$scope.postUpdate = function () {
console.log($scope.update);
Updates.postAnUpdate($scope.update);
Updates.getUpdates().then(function (data) {
$scope.updates = data;
});
};
Here is my lovely services
app.factory('Updates', ['$http',
function ($http) {
return {
//Get the current users messages
getUpdates: function () {
return $http({
url: '/updates/',
method: 'get'
}).then(function (result) {
return result.data;
});
},
postAnUpdate: function (update) {
return $http({
url: '/updates/post',
method: 'post',
data: {
update:update,
}
}).then(function (result) {
return result.data;
});
}
};
}]);
Here's my routes to handle the urls
var updates = require('./routes/updates.js');
//Project Updates
app.get('/updates/', updates.getAll);
app.get('/updates/post', updates.newPost);
And finally, here's the code that works with a 200 and console text.
exports.getAll = function (req, res) {
console.log('It worked');
}
So everything should be working for the post too, but it isn't. I'm just trying to do a console command so I know it works and I'm getting a 404
exports.newPost = function (req, res) {
var db = mongo.db,
BSON = mongo.BSON,
newPost = {};
console.log('This is giving me 404 instead of showing up in terminal');
newPost.content = req.body.update;
newPost.author = req.user._id;
newPost.date = new Date();
db.collection('updates').save(newPost, function (err, result) {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(result);
});
}

Looks as though this is a simple typographic error. in your routes:
app.get('/updates/', updates.getAll);
app.get('/updates/post', updates.newPost);
I think you want
app.post('/updates/post', updates.newPost);
