LanguageTool Error 405

[Dont-Worry]

Hello @girish

I tested using LT on the Brave browser. Seeing that it didn't work, I tried using it on Arc But nothing works in both cases. The extension I use is the Chrome extension, bc these two browsers work on the Chrome base.

For a start if you have no secret set, then test your instance via running curl for example:

curl -d "text=Hello world" -d "language=de-DE" https://<youinstancedomain.com>/v2/check

so if your instance has a secret set, this call would return a 405. If you have a secret set, then it goes in the api path: .../secret/v2/chec ...now if that secret is wrong, you also get a 405. So most likely this is the root cause. Some mismatch here.

Here is what the console gives back :

curl -d "text=Hello world" -d "language=de-DE" https://languagetool.mydomain.com/v2/check

Great so this means your server app works as expected. Then this is somehow a client/browser issue you have to investigate.

[Dont-Worry]

Thank you for your fast support !

You were right, it was a browser issue, you are right. But I don't have any idea why the Firefox extension is working but not the Chrome extension...

[girish]

@Dont-Worry FWIW, the extension works in Chrome Version 122.0.6261.128 (Official Build) (64-bit) for me.

[Dont-Worry]

I just tried it on my MacBook Pro, and it is working.... I don't understand. Same browser on my Mac mini at work doesn't work....

[necrevistonnezr]

Maybe your - German? - employer blocks languagetool for GDPR reasons?

[Dont-Worry]

@necrevistonnezr That could have been the case. But I'm the employer and I haven't set a block for LT... It could have come from the VPN, but I use the same one for both my computers...

I guess I will mark this as solved, given that this is not related to Cloudron anymore as such
