Serving files with Echo

I'm trying to serve multiple files with Echo, but it doesn't work every time. The api code looks like this:

package main

import (
    "github.com/labstack/echo"

    "net/http"
)

func main() {
    e := echo.New();

    e.GET("/", home);

    e.File("/data1", "assets/data1.csv");

    e.File("/data2", "assets/data2.csv");

    e.Logger.Fatal(e.Start(":4243"));
}

func home(c echo.Context) error {
  return c.String(http.StatusOK, "Are you lost?");
}

To be precise, it does work for the very first file fetching, but then keeps failing for any subsequent calls (be them file fetching or more "classic" calls). The error message is a tad different for each browser:

In Chrome:

SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'setRequestHeader' on 'XMLHttpRequest': 'Bearer {the_entire_content_of_the_first_fetched_file}' is not a valid HTTP header field value.

In Firefox:

SyntaxError: An invalid or illegal string was specified

In Edge, simply:

SyntaxError

Tried activating CORS, nothing changed.

Looks to work pretty well with Postman. Maybe it's a problem with how I do fetch my data in my application?

If you need perhaps a bit more information, this thread is directly related to my previous one (Vuejs with axios request in vuex store: can't make more than one request, why?), but I didn't want to mix them up, as I don't know yet if I'm mistaken in my Vue code or my Echo one...

Welp, seems it was my application's fault all along! My Echo api seems fine... for now!

If someone has the same problem, perhaps this Vuejs with axios request in vuex store: can't make more than one request, why? will help.

Just Add default CORS Middleware, i just test and it's work fine even i using difference domain. import this package from echo framework: "github.com/labstack/echo/middleware" and Add this default CORS config befor your route:

e.Use(middleware.CORSWithConfig(middleware.CORSConfig{
    AllowOrigins: []string{"*"},
    AllowMethods: []string{echo.GET, echo.PUT, echo.POST, echo.DELETE},
}))

If you would like to delivery files from certain directory. You can do following ways:

e.Use(middleware.Static("/path/to/directory"))

OR

fs := http.FileServer(http.Dir("/path/to/directory"))
e.GET("/assets/*", echo.WrapHandler(http.StripPrefix("/assets/", fs)))
