405 ошибка asp net core

I have a very simple API created using ASP.NET Core 2.1. When a client page calls the API from localhost:8080, the API located at localhost:5000 returns HTTP:405.

Why? Note that the HTTP GET test method in AuthController.cs works just as expected. It is only the HTTP POST request returning HTTP:405.

{
    [Route("api/auth")]
    [ApiController]
    public class AuthController : ControllerBase
    {

        [HttpGet, Route("test")]
        public ActionResult<IEnumerable<string>> Get()
        {
            return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
        }

        [HttpPost, Route("login")]
        public IActionResult Login([FromBody]LoginModel user)
        {
            if (user == null)
            {
                return BadRequest("Invalid client request");
            }

            if (user.UserName == "johndoe" && user.Password == "def@123")
            {
                var secretKey = new SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes("superSecretKey@345"));
                var signinCredentials = new SigningCredentials(secretKey, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);

                var tokeOptions = new JwtSecurityToken(

                    signingCredentials: signinCredentials
                );

                var tokenString = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler().WriteToken(tokeOptions);
                return Ok(new { Token = tokenString });
            }
