I hope you have solved your issue but this might help someone to prevent the cors error you need to import cors module . Add lines below . You need to add one more line if you are facing 500 error of bad request in backend which probably you will . Change option to this code
const cors = require('cors')
const options = {
target: 'http://my_elasticsearch_cluster_adddress:9200/',
secure: 'false',
changeOrigin: true,
onProxyReq: (proxyReq, req) => {
proxyReq.setHeader(
'Authorization',
`Basic ${btoa('username:password')}`
);
/* transform the req body back from text */
const { body } = req;
if (body) {
if (typeof body === 'object') {
proxyReq.write(JSON.stringify(body));
} else {
proxyReq.write(body);
}
}
}
}
app.use(cors());
I am trying to connect my reacetivesearch application to external elasticsearch provider( not AWS). They dont allow making changes to the elasticsearch cluster and also using nginx in front of the cluster .
As per the reacetivesearch documentation I have cloned the proxy code and only made changes to the target and the authentication setting(as per the code below ) .
https://github.com/appbaseio-apps/reactivesearch-proxy-server/blob/master/index.js
Proxy is successfully starting and able to connect the remote cluster . However when I connect reacetivesearch app through proxy I get the following error.
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost:7777/testing/_msearch?' from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource
I repeated the same steps with my local elasticsearch cluster using the same proxy code and getting the same error .
Just was wondering do we need to make any extra changes to make sure the proxy sending the right request to the elasticsearch cluster ? I am using the below code for the proxy.
