What is cors and what does it mean?


Asked by Audrey Kane on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a standard that allows a server to relax the same-origin policy. This is used to explicitly allow some cross-origin requests while rejecting others.
Subsequently,
The CORS standard is needed because it allows servers to specify not just who can access its assets, but also how the assets can be accessed. Cross-origin requests are made using the standard HTTP request methods.
Accordingly, Also make sure your server has enabled CORS The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' is type of response header and this must be set by the server. So you need to change the server's CORS policy to allow your origin: http://localhost:63342 . You can use Proxy server to avoid CORS Error.
In fact,
Headers to accept from the client. Headers in the Access-Control-Request-Headers request header (usually part of the preflight OPTIONS request) maching headers in this list will be included in the Access-Control-Allow-Headers response header. Usually, if a request doesn’t include an Origin header, the client did not request CORS.
Besides,
If a request is made for a resource on another origin which returns the CORs headers, then the type is cors. cors and basic responses are almost identical except that a cors response restricts the headers you can view to `Cache-Control`, `Content-Language`, `Content-Type`, `Expires`, `Last-Modified`, and `Pragma`.
