I'm trying to fetch some data from the REST API of HP Alm. It works pretty well with a small curl script—I get my data.

Now doing that with JavaScript, fetch and ES6 (more or less) seems to be a bigger issue. I keep getting this error message:

Fetch API cannot load . Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 501. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.

I understand that this is because I am trying to fetch that data from within my localhost and the solution should be using Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS). I thought I actually did that, but somehow it either ignores what I write in the header or the problem is something else.

So, is there an implementation issue? Am I doing it wrong? I can't check the server logs unfortunately. I'm really a bit stuck here.

function performSignIn() {

  let headers = new Headers();

  headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
  headers.append('Accept', 'application/json');

  headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://localhost:3000');
  headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true');

  headers.append('GET', 'POST', 'OPTIONS');

  headers.append('Authorization', 'Basic ' + base64.encode(username + ":" + password));

  fetch(sign_in, {
      //mode: 'no-cors',
      credentials: 'include',
      method: 'POST',
      headers: headers
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(json => console.log(json))
    .catch(error => console.log('Authorization failed : ' + error.message));
}

I am using Chrome. I also tried using that Chrome CORS Plugin, but then I am getting another error message:

The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' is therefore not allowed access. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.

This answer covers a lot of ground, so it’s divided into three parts:

  • How to use a CORS proxy to avoid “No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header” problems
  • How to avoid the CORS preflight
  • How to fix “Access-Control-Allow-Origin header must not be the wildcard” problems

How to use a CORS proxy to avoid “No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header” problems

If you don’t control the server your frontend code is sending a request to, and the problem with the response from that server is just the lack of the necessary Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, you can still get things to work—by making the request through a CORS proxy.

You can easily run your own proxy with code from https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere/.
You can also easily deploy your own proxy to Heroku in just 2-3 minutes, with 5 commands:

git clone https://github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere.git
cd cors-anywhere/
npm install
heroku create
git push heroku master

After running those commands, you’ll end up with your own CORS Anywhere server running at, e.g., https://cryptic-headland-94862.herokuapp.com/.

Now, prefix your request URL with the URL for your proxy:

https://cryptic-headland-94862.herokuapp.com/https://example.com

Adding the proxy URL as a prefix causes the request to get made through your proxy, which:

  1. Forwards the request to https://example.com.
  2. Receives the response from https://example.com.
  3. Adds the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the response.
  4. Passes that response, with that added header, back to the requesting frontend code.

The browser then allows the frontend code to access the response, because that response with the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header is what the browser sees.

This works even if the request is one that triggers browsers to do a CORS preflight OPTIONS request, because in that case, the proxy also sends the Access-Control-Allow-Headers and Access-Control-Allow-Methods headers needed to make the preflight succeed.


How to avoid the CORS preflight

The code in the question triggers a CORS preflight—since it sends an Authorization header.

https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS#Preflighted_requests

Even without that, the Content-Type: application/json header will also trigger a preflight.

What “preflight” means: before the browser tries the POST in the code in the question, it first sends an OPTIONS request to the server, to determine if the server is opting-in to receiving a cross-origin POST that has Authorization and Content-Type: application/json headers.

It works pretty well with a small curl script - I get my data.

To properly test with curl, you must emulate the preflight OPTIONS the browser sends:

curl -i -X OPTIONS -H "Origin: http://127.0.0.1:3000" \
    -H 'Access-Control-Request-Method: POST' \
    -H 'Access-Control-Request-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization' \
    "https://the.sign_in.url"

…with https://the.sign_in.url replaced by whatever your actual sign_in URL is.

The response the browser needs from that OPTIONS request must have headers like this:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin:  http://127.0.0.1:3000
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization

If the OPTIONS response doesn’t include those headers, the browser will stop right there and never attempt to send the POST request. Also, the HTTP status code for the response must be a 2xx—typically 200 or 204. If it’s any other status code, the browser will stop right there.

The server in the question responds to the OPTIONS request with a 501 status code, which apparently means it’s trying to indicate it doesn’t implement support for OPTIONS requests. Other servers typically respond with a 405 “Method not allowed” status code in this case.

So you’ll never be able to make POST requests directly to that server from your frontend JavaScript code if the server responds to that OPTIONS request with a 405 or 501 or anything other than a 200 or 204 or if doesn’t respond with those necessary response headers.

The way to avoid triggering a preflight for the case in the question would be:

  • if the server didn’t require an Authorization request header but instead, e.g., relied on authentication data embedded in the body of the POST request or as a query param
  • if the server didn’t require the POST body to have a Content-Type: application/json media type but instead accepted the POST body as application/x-www-form-urlencoded with a parameter named json (or whatever) whose value is the JSON data

How to fix “Access-Control-Allow-Origin header must not be the wildcard” problems

I am getting another error message:

The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:3000' is therefore not allowed access. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.

For requests that have credentials, browsers won’t let your frontend JavaScript code access the response if the value of the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is *. Instead the value in that case must exactly match your frontend code’s origin, http://127.0.0.1:3000.

See Credentialed requests and wildcards in the MDN HTTP access control (CORS) article.

If you control the server you’re sending the request to, a common way to deal with this case is to configure the server to take the value of the Origin request header, and echo/reflect that back into the value of the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header; e.g., with nginx:

add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin $http_origin

But that’s just an example; other (web) server systems have similar ways to echo origin values.


I am using Chrome. I also tried using that Chrome CORS Plugin

That Chrome CORS plugin apparently just simplemindedly injects an Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header into the response the browser sees. If the plugin were smarter, what it would be doing is setting the value of that fake Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header to the actual origin of your frontend JavaScript code, http://127.0.0.1:3000.

So avoid using that plugin, even for testing. It’s just a distraction. To test what responses you get from the server with no browser filtering them, you’re better off using curl -H as above.


As far as the frontend JavaScript code for the fetch(…) request in the question:

headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://localhost:3000');
headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true');

Remove the lines above. The Access-Control-Allow-* headers are response headers. You never want to send them in requests. The only effect of that is to trigger a browser to execute a preflight.

This error occurs when the client URL and server URL don't match, including the port number. In this case you need to enable your service for CORS which is cross origin resource sharing.

If you are hosting a Spring REST service then you can find it in the blog post CORS support in Spring Framework.

If you are hosting service using a Node.js server then

  1. Stop the Node.js server.
  2. npm install cors --save
  3. Add following lines to your server.js
const cors=require("cors");
const corsOptions ={
   origin:'*', 
   credentials:true,            //access-control-allow-credentials:true
   optionSuccessStatus:200,
}

app.use(cors(corsOptions)) // Use this after the variable declaration

The problem arose because you added the following code as the request header in your front-end:

headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://localhost:3000');
headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true');

Those headers belong to the response, not request. So remove them, including the line:

headers.append('GET', 'POST', 'OPTIONS');

Your request had 'Content-Type: application/json', hence triggered what is called CORS preflight. This caused the browser sent the request with the OPTIONS method. See CORS preflight for detailed information.

Therefore in your back-end, you have to handle this preflighted request by returning the response headers which include:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin : http://localhost:3000
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials : true
Access-Control-Allow-Methods : GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers : Origin, Content-Type, Accept

Of course, the actual syntax depends on the programming language you use for your back-end.

In your front-end, it should be like so:

function performSignIn() {
    let headers = new Headers();

    headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    headers.append('Accept', 'application/json');
    headers.append('Authorization', 'Basic ' + base64.encode(username + ":" +  password));
    headers.append('Origin','http://localhost:3000');

    fetch(sign_in, {
        mode: 'cors',
        credentials: 'include',
        method: 'POST',
        headers: headers
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(json => console.log(json))
    .catch(error => console.log('Authorization failed: ' + error.message));
}

In my case, I use the below solution.

Front-end or Angular

post(
    this.serverUrl, dataObjToPost,
    {
      headers: new HttpHeaders({
           'Content-Type':  'application/json',
         })
    }
)

back-end (I use PHP)

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:4200");
header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, OPTIONS');
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization");

$postdata = file_get_contents("php://input");
$request = json_decode($postdata);
print_r($request);

Adding mode:no-cors can avoid CORS issues in the API.

Though, it may be insecure in production, since it basically disables cross-domain protection features on clients.


fetch(sign_in, {
  mode: 'no-cors',
  credentials: 'include',
  method: 'POST',
  headers: headers
})
  .then(response => response.json())
  .then(json => console.log(json))
  .catch(error => console.log('Failed: ' + error.message));

If your API is written in ASP.NET Core, then please follow the below steps:

  • Install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Cors package.

  • Add the below line in the ConfigureServices method in file Startup.cs:

    services.AddCors();
    
  • Add the below line in the Configure method in file startup.cs:

    app.UseCors(options =>
         options.WithOrigins("http://localhost:8080")
                .AllowAnyHeader()
                .AllowAnyMethod());
    
  • Make sure you add this after - app.UseRouting();

    Refer to the below image(from MSDN) to see the middleware order:

Using dataType: 'jsonp' worked for me.

   async function get_ajax_data(){
       var _reprojected_lat_lng = await $.ajax({
                                type: 'GET',
                                dataType: 'jsonp',
                                data: {},
                                url: _reprojection_url,
                                error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                                    console.log(jqXHR)
                                },
                                success: function (data) {
                                    console.log(data);

                                    // note: data is already json type, you
                                    //       just specify dataType: jsonp
                                    return data;
                                }
                            });


 } // function               

Just my two cents... regarding How to use a CORS proxy to get around “No Access-Control-Allow-Origin header” problems

For those of you working with php at the backend, deploying a "CORS proxy" is as simple as:

  1. create a file named 'no-cors.php' with the following content:

    $URL = $_GET['url'];
    echo json_encode(file_get_contents($URL));
    die();
    
  2. on your front end, do something like:

    fetch('https://example.com/no-cors.php' + '?url=' + url)
      .then(response=>{*/Handle Response/*})`
    

Possible causes of CORS issues

  • Check your server-side access headers: Refer to this link

  • Check what request header is received from the server in the browser. The below image shows the headers

  • If you are using the fetch method and trying to access the cross-origin request make sure mode:cors is there. Refer to this link

  • Sometimes if there is an issue in the program also you are getting the CORS issue, so make sure your code is working properly.

  • Make sure to handle the OPTION method in your API.

Faced this issue in my react/express app. Adding the below code in server.js (or your server file name) fixed the issue for me. Install cors and then

const cors = require('cors');
app.use(cors({
    origin: 'http://example.com', // use your actual domain name (or localhost), using * is not recommended
    methods: ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'DELETE', 'PATCH', 'HEAD', 'OPTIONS'],
    allowedHeaders: ['Content-Type', 'Origin', 'X-Requested-With', 'Accept', 'x-client-key', 'x-client-token', 'x-client-secret', 'Authorization'],
    credentials: true
}))

Now you can make straightforward API calls from your front-end without having to pass any additional parameters.

In December 2021, Chrome 97, the Authorization: Bearer ... is not allowed unless it is in the Access-Control-Allow-Headers preflight response (ignores *). It produced this warning:

[Deprecation] authorization will not be covered by the wildcard symbol (*)

See: Chrome Enterprise release notes, Chrome 97

It also appears to enforce the same restriction on * on Access-Control-Allow-Origin. If you want to revive *-like behavior now that it is blocked, you'll likely have to read the requester's origin and return it as the allowed origin in the preflight response.

In some cases, a library may drop the Access-Control-Allow-Origin response header when there is some other invalid credential (example: an expired JWT). Then, the browser shows the "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present" error instead of the actual error (which in this example could be an expired JWT). Be sure that your library doesn't drop the header and confuse the client.

With Node.js, if you are using routers, make sure to add CORS before the routers. Otherwise, you'll still get the CORS error. Like below:

const cors = require('cors');

const userRouter = require('./routers/user');

expressApp = express();
expressApp.use(cors());
expressApp.use(express.json());
expressApp.use(userRouter);

For those using ASP.NET Core:

In my case, I was using JavaScript to make a blob from an image stored on the API (the server), so the URL was pointing to that resource. In that API's program.cs class, I already had a CORS policy, but it didn't work.

After I read the Microsoft documentation (read the first paragraph) about this issue, it is said that if you want to access a resource on the server, by using JavaScript (which is what I was trying to do), then you must call the app.UseCors(); before the app.UseStaticFiles(); which is typically the opposite.

My program.cs file:

const string corsPolicyName = "ApiCORS";

builder.Services.AddCors(options =>
{
    options.AddPolicy(corsPolicyName, policy =>
    {
        policy.WithOrigins("https://localhost:7212");
    });
});

...

var app = builder.Build();

app.UseSwagger();

app.UseSwaggerUI(settings =>
{
    settings.DisplayRequestDuration();
    settings.EnableTryItOutByDefault();
});

app.UseHttpsRedirection();

app.UseCors(corsPolicyName); //
