I'm new to CORS configuration and trying to figure this out, but my set up looks like it is right according to the documentation. I'm hoping you can help me see what I've missed. My code is trying to upload (PUT) a file directly to google storage using a signed url.
Access to XMLHttpRequest at
'https://storage.googleapis.com/herdboss-dev.appspot.com/uploads/152/152-owner-152-61.jpg?X-Goog-Algorithm=GOOG4-RSA-SHA256&X-Go...'
from origin 'https://herdboss-dev.appspot.com' has been blocked by
CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the
requested resource.
I've set the CORS policy on my Google Storage Bucket (added line breaks for readability):
% gsutil cors get gs://herdboss-dev.appspot.com
[{
"maxAgeSeconds": 3600,
"method": ["GET", "HEAD", "PUT"],
"origin": ["https://herdboss-dev.appspot.com"],
"responseHeader": ["X-Requested-With", "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "Content-Type"]
}]
According to my chrome inspector, the pre-flight request happens and returns the proper methods and headers (as far as I can tell). Also, as a side note, I noticed the PUT shows up in my Chrome inspector before the OPTIONS, but the timestamps show the OPTIONS is sent first.
When the OPTIONS call happens, Google Storage correctly responds and says it can support my request methods GET, HEAD, PUT and origin https://herdboss-dev.appspot.com:
THE PUT REQUEST
However, when the PUT happens, Google Storage does not respond with the proper Access-Control-Allow-Origin header:
What am I missing or doing wrong? I'm able to use these signed urls to PUT files directly into my Google Storage bucket when I make a direct http call, so I know the signed urls work. I'm just running into this CORS problem. It's a new thing for me, I haven't dealt with it before, but it seems like I'm setting all of the things I should be setting.
**EDIT 1:
I tried setting my allowed origins to * just as a test and I was still rejected with the same No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. The Chrome inspector showed the OPTIONS response did send back my * for allowed origins, but it still didn't work and still gave the same error.
Figured it out.
Short version: Chrome's error message about CORS was a red herring. Google Storage was rejecting the request which was being interpreted as a CORS violation.
Long version:
I noticed in Chrome's inspector that the response to my PUT request had a content length of 862 characters, but Chrome wasn't showing me any response. I opened Firefox and tried the upload process again and it failed with the same error messages about CORS and Access-Control-Allow-Origin. However, in Firefox's network inspector, I was able to see the raw response body!
<Error>
<Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code>
<Message>The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your Google secret key and signing method.</Message>
<StringToSign>.....</StringToSign>
<CanonicalRequest>PUT
/herdboss-dev.appspot.com/uploads/152/152-owner-152-72.png
X-Goog-Algorithm=GOOG4-RSA-SHA256&....;X-Goog-SignedHeaders=content-type%3Bhost
content-type:image/png
host:storage.googleapis.com
content-type;host
UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD
</CanonicalRequest>
</Error>
My theory is that when Chrome and Firefox do the pre-flight CORS checking and then issue the PUT request and receive a 403 response code that it is responding as if it is a CORS problem even though the problem was not CORS related and the preflight response DID actually have the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.
From here, I was able to quickly diagnose the problem by checking my url signing code against the request. I noticed that when created the signed upload url that I was requiring a Content-type of application/octet-stream but when the javascript in the browser was doing the PUT request that it was setting the Content-type to image/png. I updated my javascript to force the Content-type to match application/octet-stream and then the request succeeded.

I am pulling in an Iframe that has javascript included in it. I have installed the fruitcake cors package and set the config file to be wide open. I also added the "Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header to the xmlhttp request just in case because I am confused on who is actually denying the request. Here is the error I am getting -
Access to XMLHttpRequest at "https://site-that-i-am-posting-to" from origin "https://where-the-iframe-is-sourced-from" has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present of the requested resource.
Figured it out. I needed to add the correct request headers to the xmlhttprequest like this -
xhrapi.setRequestHeader('Origin', 'https://site-posting-from.com');
xhrapi.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Request-Method', 'POST');
And then it worked. Thanks to anyone that tried to help!
I have receive the following response when trying to access an API via an ajax request in Chrome:
"Failed to load http://localhost:1880/api_resource: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin http://localhost:3000 is therefore not allowed access."
As you can see from the message, both client and API are running locally.
I understand that this situation relates to a CORS cross origin request. I see that there are similar questions about this on stack overflow, but from those answers I do not understand what the message is telling me and where it comes from.
Specifically I understand that the response header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" must be set (typically to '*') to allow access to the API from a different domain to the one on which the API is being served. But the message seems to relate to the request and not the response, and as far as I am aware, no request ever reaches the API.
What is a preflight request and how is it failing?
As I now understand it, modern browsers will issue a 'preflight' request before the actual cross origin request. This preflight request uses the 'OPTIONS' HTTP verb along with the CORS headers Access-Control-Request-Method and Access-Control-Request-Headers to which it expects to see a response with valid Access-Control-Allow-Origin in the header that indicates that the server understands the CORS protocol and will allow the actual (GET/POST/PUT) request.
The message "Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check" means that the browser did not see a valid "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" header in the Options response.
In my case this was because the server (implementing a REST API) was set up to respond correctly to PUT and POST requests but not setup to respond to OPTIONS requests with the CORS headers.
in my case the problem was for my website address, i'm calling all apis from the same server but i got this error.
my website address is sateh.ir
so im my ajax request i set the url: http://sateh.ir/api/...
after getting this error and working on it for some hours, i got that i had to set ajax url to: http://www.sateh.ir/api/...
i dont know why my website cant understand that i'm calling api from the same server if i dont put 'www', but that was my problem at all.
I am trying to make a cross domain request from my React app (localhost:3000) to my Laravel PHP app (localhost:8000). I believe I have the back end set up to accept cross domain requests. I used this: https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-cors
I seem to have all the parameters from this answer (https://stackoverflow.com/a/38087435/1555312), so I don't get why mine doesn't work. I actually see a 200 response + the expected body when I use the chrome console.
Here is the error I see in my console:
Failed to load http://localhost:8000/api/v1/upload-sessions: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access.
Here is how my POST request looks like:
OPTIONS request:
POST request:
Expected response is sent, even though it complains about the CORS issue:
You need to set Access-Control-Allow-... on the response, not the request.
Once you remove that from the request, you probably won't need a pre-flight, so the OPTIONS request won't happen.
We currently have an API running on a cluster of servers, with Apache. Every response from the API is JSON.
I've been playing around with the http://ionicframework.com/ framework, which uses Angular JS as it's Javascript base. It's got to the point where I want to make requests from the web app I'm working on, with Angular:
$http.get('http://myapi.com/getData').success(function(data) {
console.log(data);
});
Now of course, I get the error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://myapi.com/getData. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8100' is therefore not allowed access.
Now this is obviously a CORS issue, and I understand why. One solution for this would be to set Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" on the servers, however opening up the entire API to any cross site request is surely risky?
Instead, is there no way for me to set some form of key/security which the server checks against to make sure it's coming from the app I'm building.
The angular $http docs have:
xsrfHeaderName – {string} – Name of HTTP header to populate with the XSRF token.
xsrfCookieName – {string} – Name of cookie containing the XSRF token.
Where would I check for these on the server, and what is a secure way of doing this?
JSONP is not an option, since the API can't be changed in it's current state.
I'm trying to implement a login service on a Web app using Sencha Touch.
I already have a REST service working properly (I can test it using chomr extension Dev HTTP Client).
Now, the request is an Ajax request after doing some research, I've found out that cross-domain requests are protected, according to CORS.
I modified my Ajax client, adding:
useDefaultXhrHeader: false
when constructing the Ajax request, and I added to the headers:
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: x-requested-with
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
in my response.
Still using the Dev HTTP Client, I can now see my headers correctly set in the response.
But, in my app, I keep getting the error:
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource
If I use the --disable-web-security parameter when launching Chrome, everything works as it should, headers are sent (or at least, they are not blocked anymore by Chrome), but obviously, this is not the proper way to do it.
Can someone help me out on this?
Please follow the link http://enable-cors.org/server_apache.html and enable cors on your server. You client ajax request is correct but you still need enable cors on the server.
