Concept: I have an application that allows users post a question... When the user clicks the Ask button i trying to submit the the quesiton using Vue.js and Axios.

Problem: 70% of the time the question is submitted properly, but 30% of the time it fails and returns "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 419 (unknown status)"

enter image description here

My Vue component

<template>
    <div id = "main_question_box" class = "tab-pane fade">
        <div class="panel-body posting-field-box">        
            <textarea name="feed_body" class="summernote posting-field form-control"></textarea>
            <button class = "example-btn btn btn-xs btn-default pull-right">View Question Examples</button>                                    
        </div>

        <div class="panel-footer">
            <ul class="list-inline pull-right">
                <li>
                    <button @click = "sendPost" class="feed-post-btn btn btn-submit btn-sm btn-success pl-l pr-l">
                        <span>Ask</span>
                        <i class="fa fa-paper-plane pl-sm"></i>
                    </button>
                </li>
            </ul>

            <div class="clearfix"></div>

I can reproduce this problem.

  1. Use Vuejs/Laravel app as normal.
  2. Refresh page with \Session::flush() in your controller public function getProduct(Request $request) { \Session::flush(); return view('product'); }

  3. Make a put/post request from client ->Request failed with status code 419

  4. This likely means that in development your session expires so you can try to set your session lifetime to a higher number to see if that resolves the issue.
