Ionic2 project with Apache PHP REST service on localhost - apache

I have a PHP REST service and a Ionic2 project that 'out of the box' runs on Node.js localhost:8100. The REST service runs on my computer on localhost:80. When I want to do calls from Ionic2 (Angular2) to my server on localhost I get this error in the browser console:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost/app_dev.php/login.
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:8100' is therefore not allowed access.
The response had HTTP status code 404.
Wat I understand is that this is a CORS issue (Cross origin resource sharing). As I understand A way to solve this would be to change the build script in ionic to point to a front end distribution location in my Apache project and run the whole project from localhost:80. Another solution is to change the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header.
What is the most simple straight forward solution for this problem?

Checked the possible duplicates, and there was an potential ANSWER to which I want to add some more detail:
Since you are dealing with PHP, the following has worked for me by just adding on top of your php script the following:
<?php
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); // this!
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type'); // and this!
//more code here
?>
During development, you might very possibly need to enable CORS in your browser, here's an extension for CHROME
Hope this helps! :)

I want to add the ID in the API [duplicate]

I am working on an app using Vue js.
According to my setting I need to pass to a variable to my URL when setting change.
<!-- language: lang-js -->
$.get('http://172.16.1.157:8002/firstcolumn/' + c1v + '/' + c1b, function (data) {
// some code...
});
But when my app hit on URL, it shows the following message.
Failed to load http://172.16.1.157:8002/firstcolumn/2017-03-01/2017-10-26: Redirect from 'http://172.16.1.157:8002/firstcolumn/2017-03-01/2017-10-26' to 'http://172.16.1.157:8002/firstcolumn/2017-03-01/2017-10-26/' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access.
In addition to what awd mentioned about getting the person responsible for the server to reconfigure (an impractical solution for local development) I use a change-origin chrome plugin like this:
Moesif Orign & CORS Changer (use to be free but now wants a work email address >_>)
Allow CORS: Access-Control-Allow-Origin
You can make your local dev server (ex: localhost:8080) to appear to be coming from 172.16.1.157:8002 or any other domain.
In case the 2nd plugin link breaks in the future or the plugin writer decides to capitalize off the fame of this thread, open your browser's
plugin marketplace and search "allow cors", there's going to be a
bunch of them.
Thanks all, I solved by this extension on chrome.
Allow CORS: Access-Control-Allow-Origin
If you have control over your server, you can use PHP:
<?PHP
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
?>
Ask the person maintaining the server at http://172.16.1.157:8002/ to add your hostname to Access-Control-Allow-Origin hosts, the server should return a header similar to the following with the response-
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: yourhostname:port
Using npm:
To allow cross-origin requests install 'cors':
npm i cors
Add this in the server-side:
let cors = require("cors");
app.use(cors());
When you have this problem with Chrome, you don't need an Extension.
Start Chrome from the Console:
chrome.exe --user-data-dir="C:/Chrome dev session" --disable-web-security
Maybe you have to close all Tabs in Chrome and restart it.
I will assume that you're a front-end developer only and that you don't have access to the backend of the application (regarding the tags of the question).
Short answer on how to properly solve this in your case? You can't, you'll need somebody else.
What is this about?
You need to understand that CORS is a security thing, it's not just here to annoy you just for fun.
It's purpose is to mainly prevent the usage of a (malicious) HTTP call from a non-whitelisted frontend to your backend with some critical mutation.
You could give a look to this YouTube video or any other one really, but I recommend a visual video because text-based explanation can be quite hard to understand.
You also need to understand that if you use Postman or any other tool to try your API call, you will not get the CORS issue. The reason being that those tools are not Web frontends but rather some server-based tools.
Hence, don't be surprised if something is working there but not in your Vue app, the context is different.
Now, how to solve this?
Depending of the framework used by your backend team, the syntax may be quite different but overall, you'll need to tell them to provide something like Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:3000 (or any other port you'll be using).
PS: Using Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * would be quite risky because it would allow anybody to access it, hence why a stricter rule is recommended.
If you're using a service, like an API to send SMS, payment, some Google console or something else really, you'll need to allow your localhost in the dashboard of the service. Ask for credentials to your manager or Tech Lead.
If you have access to the backend, you could it yourself as shown here (ExpressJS in this example): https://flaviocopes.com/cors/
How to hack it in a dirty way?
If you're in a damn hurry and want to get something really dirty, you could use a lot of various hacks a listed in the other answers, here's a quick list:
use any extension who is able to create a middleware and forward the request to the backend (it will work because it's not directly coming from your frontend)
force your browser to disable CORS, not sure how this would actually solve the issue
use a proxy, if you're using Nuxt2, #nuxtjs/proxy is a popular one but any kind of proxy (even a real backend will do the job)
any other hack related somehow to the 3 listed above...
At the end, solving the CORS issue can be done quite fast and easily. You only need to communicate with your team or find something on your side (if you have access to the backend/admin dashboard of some service).
I heavily do recommend trying get it right from the beginning because it's related to security and that it may be forgotten down the road...
The approved answer to this question is not valid.
You need to set headers on your server-side code
app.use((req,res,next)=>{
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin','*');
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods','GET,POST,PUT,PATCH,DELETE');
res.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods','Content-Type','Authorization');
next();
})
You can also try a chrome extension to add these headers automatically.
Hello If I understood it right you are doing an XMLHttpRequest to a different domain than your page is on. So the browser is blocking it as it usually allows a request in the same origin for security reasons. You need to do something different when you want to do a cross-domain request. A tutorial about how to achieve that is Using CORS.
When you are using postman they are not restricted by this policy. Quoted from Cross-Origin XMLHttpRequest:
Regular web pages can use the XMLHttpRequest object to send and receive data from remote servers, but they're limited by the same origin policy. Extensions aren't so limited. An extension can talk to remote servers outside of its origin, as long as it first requests cross-origin permissions.
To add the CORS authorization to the header using Apache, simply add the following line inside either the <Directory>, <Location>, <Files> or <VirtualHost> sections of your server config (usually located in a *.conf file, such as httpd.conf or apache.conf), or within a .htaccess file:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
And then restart apache.
Altering headers requires the use of mod_headers. Mod_headers is enabled by default in Apache, however, you may want to ensure it's enabled.
I had the same problem in my Vue.js and SpringBoot projects. If somebody work with spring you can add this code:
#Bean
public FilterRegistrationBean simpleCorsFilter() {
UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource source = new UrlBasedCorsConfigurationSource();
CorsConfiguration config = new CorsConfiguration();
config.setAllowCredentials(true);
// *** URL below needs to match the Vue client URL and port ***
config.setAllowedOrigins(Collections.singletonList("http://localhost:8080"));
config.setAllowedMethods(Collections.singletonList("*"));
config.setAllowedHeaders(Collections.singletonList("*"));
source.registerCorsConfiguration("/**", config);
FilterRegistrationBean bean = new FilterRegistrationBean<>(new CorsFilter(source));
bean.setOrder(Ordered.HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE);
return bean;
}
I found solution in this article Build a Simple CRUD App with Spring Boot and Vue.js
You are making a request to external domain 172.16.1.157:8002/ from your local development server that is why it is giving cross origin exception.
Either you have to allow headers Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* in both frontend and backend or alternatively use this extension cors header toggle - chrome extension unless you host backend and frontend on the same domain.
Try running this command in your terminal and then test it again.
curl -H "origin: originHost" -v "RequestedResource"
Eg:
If my originHost equals https://localhost:8081/ and my RequestedResource equals https://example.com/
My command would be as below:
curl -H "origin: https://localhost:8081/" -v "https://example.com/"
If you can notice the following line then it should work for you.
< access-control-allow-origin: *
Hope this helps.
Do specify #CrossOrigin(origins = "http://localhost:8081")
in Controller class.
You can solve this temporarily by using the Firefox add-on, CORS Everywhere. Just open Firefox, press Ctrl+Shift+A , search the add-on and add it!
You won't believe this,
Make sure to add "." at the end of the "url"
I got a similar error with this code:
fetch(https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=jack+johnson)
.then( response => {
return response.json();
})
.then(data => {
console.log(data.results);
}).catch(error => console.log('Request failed:', error))
The error I got:
Access to fetch at 'https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=jack+johnson'
from origin 'http://127.0.0.1:5500' has been blocked by CORS policy:
No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested
resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
But I realized after a lot of research that the problem was that I did not copy the
right URL address from the iTunes API documentation.
It should have been
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=jack+johnson.
not
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=jack+johnson
Notice the dot at the end
There is a huge explanation about why the dot is important quoting issues about DNS and character encoding but the truth is you probably do not care. Try adding the dot it might work for you too.
When I added the "." everything worked like a charm.
I hope it works for you too.
install:
npm i cors
Then include cors():
app.get("/list",cors(),(req,res) =>{
});
In addition to the Berke Kaan Cetinkaya's answer.
If you have control over your server, you can do the following in ExpressJs:
app.use(function(req, res, next) {
// update to match the domain you will make the request from
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "YOUR-DOMAIN.TLD");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,POST,PUT");
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
next();
});
https://enable-cors.org/server_expressjs.html
I tried this code,and that works for me.You can see the documentation in this link
var io = require("socket.io")(http, {
cors: {
origin: "*",
methods: ["GET", "POST"]
}
})
The reason that I came across this error was that I hadn't updated the path for different environments.
you have to customize security for your browser or allow permission through customizing security. (it is impractical for your local testing)
to know more about please go through the link.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS
These errors may be caused due to follow reasons, ensure the following steps are followed. To connect the local host with the local virtual machine(host). Here, I'am connecting http://localhost:3001/ to the http://abc.test Steps to be followed:
1.We have to allow CORS, placing Access-Control-Allow-Origin: in header of request
may not work. Install a google extension which enables a CORS request.*
2.Make sure the credentials you provide in the request are valid.
3.Make sure the vagrant has been provisioned. Try vagrant up --provision this make the localhost connect to db of the homestead.
Try changing the content type of the header. header:{ 'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8;application/json' }
this point is very important.
Another solution to this problem in a specific scenario :
If
AWS APIGW is your backend with authentication enabled and
authentication fails,
your browser may end up complaining about CORS even if CORS is enabled in APIGW. You also need to enable CORS for 4XX as follows
API:YourAPI > Resources > /YourResource > Actions > Enable CORS > Gateway Responses for yourAPI check Default 4XX
Authentication will still fail but it won't look like CORS is the root cause
$.get('https://172.16.1.157:8002/firstcolumn/' + c1v + '/' + c1b, function (data) {
// some code...
});
Just put "https" .

Nginx config in virtual host have CORS problem

I have problem in Nginx as I deployed my Vue application.
The API work normally in development mode, but have CORS problem after deploying, because our Backend-End use another service which was built on windows server.(But the Nginx was built in Linux with centos)
Therefore, I need to proxy on Nginx to handle CORS problem, I survey for two days and use whatever I know, but the CORS problem still exit, so I hope someone could help me.
The Entire API URL is
https://rccht.cna.com.tw/globalviewAPI/api/globalview/GetVideoList
I write API with env
${import.meta.env.VITE_CNA_API}/GetVideoList
The production env is
/gv-backend/globalviewAPI/api/globalview
``
The Nginx Config is
Because we use Vitual Host, the Nginx run two web applications, every web application have their own name, Nginx has second level folder under root.
I'm not sure if the Vitual Host cause subfolder affect the CORS or not, so I try to rewrite the URL for Nginx, but as you know, it still not work.
Please give me some advice and suggestion, thanks a lot.
Finally, I found the solution by myself.
The CORS problem is preflight request which caused by Axios.
The preflight request conditions could see this.
Because the Axios default Content-Type was application/json , and it triggered the preflight request. Therefore, I shouldn't to use Nginx proxy, the good solution was change the Content-Type of Axios.

How to fix "Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response with MIME type application/json." issue?

I'm currently developing the frontend (VueJS) for a project and to test my login and register logics I'm using laravel as backend, though we'll be actually working with springboot for backend. I was coding in a desktop and everything was normal. So I just started to work with my laptop. I got the same project, everything is equal. When I use postman to make the requests, it works normally, but when I try to make them with the form from my website, I get that error.
I've looked everywhere but couldn't fix it. Nothing I tryed did work. And It seems that no one else had a similar problem.
Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response http://127.0.0.1:8000/api/login with MIME type application/json. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5629709824032768 for more details.
Add proxy configuration in vue.config.js file
module.exports = {
devServer: {
proxy: 'http://localhost:4000'
}
}
This will tell the dev server to proxy any unknown requests (requests that did not match a static file) to http://localhost:4000.

Vuejs 303 redirect

In my Vuejs application on calling API to make a payment and I get 303 as status code and In the header, I can see Location:
http://local.xyz.in:1024/payment-success
In the browser's network console, I can see log for
http://local.xyz.in:1024/payment-success
but the page doesn't redirect to payment-success page and show following error on the console
Failed to load http://local.xyz.in:1024/payment-success:
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested

Thank you in advance.
You are running into CORS issues. There are several ways to fix/workaround this.
Turn off CORS. For example how to turn off cors in chrome

'XMLHttpRequest cannot load' Error on HTTP Requests from Dart client to local Dart docker server

I've lately been trying to build a Dart client that communicates with my Dart docker server. If I run this url (localhost:8080/id/6192449487634432) on any browser I get back a JSON that I've set up, however, if a use
HttpRequest
.getString ("http://localhost:8080/id/6192449487634432")
.then (print);
on the Dart client, I get this weird error
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:8080/id/6192449487634432. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'
header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8081' is therefore not allowed access.
I've searched and some workarounds have been to build a PHP proxy (no thanks). I am new to web development in general and I definitely don't know what a proxy is or how to build one. Is there a clean solution I could use? I have a Redstone server and and AngularDart client.
This happens when your client app is served from a different server than your docker server. This is a browser issue, not specific to Dart. Luckily, the solution is easy.
Be sure to send CORS headers from your server, on every request. The easiest way to solve this is to add the following header:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
I don't know the specifics of Redstone, but be sure to set the header key Access-Control-Allow-Origin and value * on GET, HEAD, and POST methods. Yes, you need to set this header on HEAD requests because sometimes the browser does a HEAD request to check if CORS is enabled.
Learn more about CORS at http://enable-cors.org/
As mentioned above setting the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header allows HTTP requests from the browser to go to other URLs than the origin the client was loaded from. Another option is to serve the Dart client from the same server as you are accessing.
Depending on your environment and whether you are using Dartium or a JavaScript browser
If you are using Dart on App Engine Managed VMs we have built-in support for this, so that requests for the client files are proxied to pub serve during development and served from the output from pub build when deployed. See A Client-Server Example.
If you are running a plain Dart server right now there is no canned solution for switching between pub serve and pub build. You can run pub build and serve the files out of the web/build directory.
We are working on making the solution provided for Dart on App Engine Managed VMs more generally available.
Particularly to redstone, you can solve the problem as follows. Add to your server-side code this snippet
// if not yet there
import 'package:redstone/server.dart' as app;
#app.Interceptor(r'/.*')
interceptor() {
app.chain.next(() {
app.response = app.response.change(headers: {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"
});
});
}
you can read more on interceptors in the redstone wiki
