Response to preflight request doesn't pass acc

Question

I'm getting this error using ngResource to call a REST API on Amazon Web Services:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://server.apiurl.com:8000/s/login?login=facebook. 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' is therefore not allowed access. Error 405

Service:

socialMarkt.factory('loginService', ['$resource', function($resource){    
    var apiAddress = "http://server.apiurl.com:8000/s/login/";
    return $resource(apiAddress, { login:"facebook", access_token: "@access_token" ,facebook_id: "@facebook_id" }, {
                getUser: {method:'POST'}
            });
}]);

Controller:

[...]
loginService.getUser(JSON.stringify(fbObj)),
                function(data){
                    console.log(data);
                },
                function(result) {
                    console.error('Error', result.status);
                }
[...]

I'm using Chrome, and I dont know what else to do in order to fix this problem. I've even configured the server to accept headers from origin localhost.

I am using AWS sdk for uploads, after spending some time searching online i stumbled upon this thread. thanks to @lsimoneau 45581857 its turns out the exact same thing was happening. I simply pointed my request Url to the region on my bucket by attaching the region property and it worked.

 const s3 = new AWS.S3({
 accessKeyId: config.awsAccessKeyID,
 secretAccessKey: config.awsSecretAccessKey,
 region: 'eu-west-2'  // add region here });

Disable the chrome security.Create a chrome shortcut right click -> properties -> target, paste this "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security --user-data-dir="c:/chromedev"

The standalone distributions of GeoServer include the Jetty application server. Enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) to allow JavaScript applications outside of your own domain to use GeoServer.

Uncomment the following <filter> and <filter-mapping> from webapps/geoserver/WEB-INF/web.xml:

<web-app>
  <filter>
      <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
      <filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>
  <filter-mapping>
      <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
      <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
</web-app>

For python flask server, you can use the flask-cors plugin to enable cross domain requests.

See : https://flask-cors.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

In my Apache VirtualHost config file, I have added following lines :

Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT"
Header always set Access-Control-Max-Age "1000"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "x-requested-with, Content-Type, origin, authorization, accept, client-security-token"

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} OPTIONS
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [R=200,L]

Answer 6

If you are using IIS server by chance. you can set below headers in the HTTP request headers option.

Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: 'HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE'
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: 'Origin, Content-Type, X-Auth-Token';

with this all post, get etc., will work fine.
