Laravel RESTful returning 301 state - backbone.js

Mates,
I'm developing a Backbone/Laravel application.
When I try to send a POST request to a certain resource, it returns me 301 status with no response, regardless that on the controller i'm printing a 'hello world', to check if it's getting to that point.
Here's some code...
public function store()
{
//
return 'hello world';
}
This is the routes.php
Route::group(array('before' => 'auth'), function()
{
Route::get('/', 'SitesController#index');
Route::resource('rooms', 'RoomsController');
});
So, when I make a POST request to
rooms
With some info to save, it gives me back 301 status with no response at all.
Any idea what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Solved!
On backbone collection configuration, I had url parameter with '/' at the end.
rooms/
Deleted that slash and now it works fine.
Hope someone find's this helpful

(Adding this answer in case anyone has the same issue as me)
In my case I had a resource videos which gave the exact same problem. The reason was that I also had a directory on the server /videos/ (with files in it) which the server tried to point me to before it let Laravel direct it to the controller.

For some reason, posting to "image" in Laravel, even without a trailing "/" gives me a 301 Moved Permanently HTTP response.
I don't have an "image" folder in my public directory and still don't understand why the redirect occurs.
Changing the request to "foo" seems to work fine.
So if you found this page because you're trying to store an image restfully, try something like this:
Route::resource('api/image', 'ImageController');

CSRF Validation Failed in Drupal 7

I've been searching and searching, including the many topics here, for a solution to my problem. I've had no luck thus far.
A bit of a backstory: I'm writing an AngularJS app with Drupal 7 as a backend. I'm able to login without problem, save Session Name and Session ID, and put them together for a Cookie header (I had to use this "hack"). Further, if I made a login call in the Postman app, then tried to update the node, it'd work. It makes me think that there's a problem with session authentication, but I still can't figure it out.
That being said, I'm at a roadblock. Whenever I try to PUT to update a node, I get the following error:
401 (Unauthorized : CSRF validation failed)
Now, my ajax call looks like this:
$http({
method: 'PUT',
url: CONSTANTS.SITE_URL+"/update/node/"+target_nid,
headers:{
'Content-Type': CONSTANTS.CONTENT_TYPE,
'Authentication': CONSTANTS.SESS_NAME +"="+CONSTANTS.SESS_ID,
'X-CSRF-Token' : CONSTANTS.TOKEN
},
data: {
(JSON stuff)
}
})
The CONTENT_TYPE is "application/json", the "Authentication" is the band-aid for the Cookie header problem, and the "X-CSRF-Token" is what is (presumably) giving me the problem. SESS_NAME, SESS_ID, and TOKEN are all gathered from the response at Login. I can pull lists made by users on the website, I can pull the list of all of the nodes of a certain type on the website as well. I only run into a problem when I attempt to PUT to update the node.
If I missed any information, let me know and I'll add it!
EDIT: I'm using AngularJS version 1.5.3.
After trying everything else, I followed one of the comments in the thread I linked at the beginning of my original post. They had to comment out a line in Services.module :
if ($non_safe_method_called && !drupal_valid_token($csrf_token, 'services')) {
//return t('CSRF validation failed');
}
It's around line 590, plus or minus a few depending on how much you've messed with the file. I don't like doing it this way, but I can't for the life of me figure out why the token's not working right. It's a temporary fix, for sure, but if someone runs across this with the same problem in the future it'll hopefully help you out!
Instead of removing the line you could also add a true to drupal_valid_token
if ($non_safe_method_called && !drupal_valid_token($csrf_token, 'services',true)) {
return t('CSRF validation failed');
}

Spring + Angular / IE gets 403 on PUT (others don't)

I have a spring webapp with spring security(3.2.3, so no CSRF protection) and angular.
In a controller i have a method like this one to update the users pw:
#RequestMapping("/accountinfo/password", method = arrayOf(RequestMethod.PUT))
#ResponseBody
#Secured("ROLE_USER")
open fun updateOwnPassword(user: User, #RequestBody password: String) {
val editedUser = user
editedUser.password = encoder.encode(password)
userRepository.save(editedUser)
}
The request is done via angular Service:
function changeOwnPassword(newPassword) {
return $http
.put('accountinfo/password', newPassword)
.then(function (response) {
return response.data
});
}
This works fine in every browser i tested with. Except if using IE 11.0.35 in a Citrix environment (Works outside of it,but can't see any specific configuration).
In that case i get 403 on the Request. When i change the method to POST it works fine again. I could do that for every function where i got this problem of course, but that doesn't seem like a clean solution.
As far as my research goes, i think it's something wrong with the way the browser writes the Request, but that's were i can't find out what to do.
EDIT:
I compared the request headers of both IE 11.0.35 inside and outside of Citrix and they seem exactly the same. The only difference is that the working version uses DNT=1 and the non-working version as WOW64 in the User-Agent attributes?
UPDATE:
I found out that it happens with DELETE too
Found the problem: The client sends the Requests through an additional Proxy that doesn't like PUT and DELETE and just cuts the session cookies off of it. We are adressing that problem with putting the tokens in the header in the future.

Angular.js JSONP callback request issue with Symfony2

My App which has just gone live for some reason worked fine during the testing phase but just broke when published on Google play.
I am submitting information to my server eg. logging in through angular.js json requests which used to work but now, I am getting an invalid callback name error in vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/JsonResponse.php at line 77.
The callback name is not valid.
The issue emanates from the callback string attached by angular.js
&callback=angular.callbacks._0
Even though my URL is constructed like this:
url = serviceBase + q + '?' + obj.serialize(object) + '&callback=JSON_CALLBACK';
This is how I handle response in symfony action
$response = new JsonResponse();
$response->setCallback($callback);
$response->setData($feedback);
return $response;
Is there any way this could be remedied? I tried looking around and googling but there was no definitive answer that was not a hack. Thanks in advance, I hope someone will help me before anyone wakes up and tries to register or logs in

303 redirection not working with Angular HTTP POST

I am calling an authentication service where I do a $http.post which returns a 303 resonse, redirecting to a get call returning the response.
When I make the post call using Postman, I get the desired response but when I do an angular $http.post call, it returns me a 401 error (which is user not authorized)
Am I missing something while making the angular call? The backend service seems to work fine as it works fine on Postman.
This is how the $http call looks:
$http.post(url, userData).success(function(data, status) {
//handle success
}.error(function(data, status) {
//handle error
});
The url and the user data is constructed absolutely fine in this case.
The reason that you get a GET call is that the browser handle the 303 response before the angular can reach that. And the handling sequence is first go to the browser and then go to the angular framework.
So briefly what happens is : you make call to the server --> the server return the 303 response -> your browser handle the 303 and make a request to some url (should be 'location' in the response header) --> the server receive the request and return the 401 authorized response --> again the browser receive the 401 response first but this time the browser redirect the response to the angular --> at last you can receive the data and status inside the error().
The solution for this could be switching to other response status code like 2xx, and you can get the location from the body. Then you can do the redirection manually. If you HAVE to use 303 or other 3xx as the response code I don't think there's any effective solution at this moment because you can't do much to the browser. As far as I know there might be a solution at browser level but don't know when that will happen.
Hope this can help anyone has the similar issue like this although it has been nearly one year since this issue raised.
Some other ref: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/angular/GKkdipdMbdo
There's similar solution you can see from the link above.
I faced this issue and I found a redirect url in error object after lots of hours struggle.
loginWithLinkedIn() {
let data = {
// some kind of information here
}
return this.http.get(`https://www.someurl.com/oauth/v2/authorization`).subscribe(res => {
console.log(res)
}, err => {
console.log(err.url) // here is the redirect url
window.location.href = err.url
})
}
Note: when you make a request and you get 303 response which is considered as error, that's why we think we are getting error but error contains useful info.

destroy always returns with the error callback (although everything seems to be ok)

I'm trying to delete a model on my backend and what I do is this (the code is adapted just to show you the issue, some parts could be missing):
attending= new Backbone.Model();
attending.url= this.url() + "/reject";
attending.set({
id: this.id
})
attending.destroy({
success: function(){
alert("yes");
},
error: function(){
alert("no");
}
});
but what I always obtain is a "no" alert. The fact is the backend seems to be updated correctly and what I obtain as a response too. Here it is:
so... what's wrong with the response I get? Why doesn't backbone recognizes it as a successful response? I get 200/OK and a "application/json" format as well!
Your backend should return something with 200
jQuery expect 200 with application/json to have some content
Have a look here: https://github.com/jashkenas/backbone/issues/2218#issuecomment-20991938
You might want to place a "debugger;" in the error callback and trace exactly why its coming that route vs the success route. That should atleast get your started on the right path...
