Cross-Origin Request Blocked

[MrBrowner]

Cloned the project & ran successfully. but, when i tried to download a file.

i got this in console.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: 
The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource 
at https://bhavcopy-backend.fly.dev/getbhavcopy. 
(Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).
Status code: 200.

why so ?

Thanks.

ps: it's my first time coding a web project

[MrBrowner]

okay. After some search, i got to know is:

we have to define "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*" in the header.

But, where is headers in the axios api call ?

[girishg4t]

In the backend we need to allow that header, but * is not recommended. you have to run the backend on your local as well for this

or you can call this api's directly from you local https://bhavcopy-backend.fly.dev/

[MrBrowner]

The URL is already defined in config.url.

how so ? where/what to make changes ?

can please help me to setup it.

Thanks & Regards.

@MrBrowner How to run the application on local 1) clone the repo 2) do npm install 3) npm start 4) when you click download you will get CORS error, for that install cors extension in your browser and enable it, in my case in Firefox i am using

CORS Everywhere
Bypass CORS restrictions by altering http responses.

similar kind of extensions will exists in Chrome

let me know if you want to contribute and want to get some idea on project, we can have a call as well

[MrBrowner]

@girishg4t Thank you very much.

as i was stuck on pt.4. Now it's able do api call successfully also, there is a warning in console Attempt to set a forbidden header was denied: Origin

& yes, I'm happy to make contribution to the project, we can have a scheduled call on gmeet?

[girishg4t]

Sure, schedule a call. i am mostly available as i am doing WFH

[MrBrowner]

hey. was setting-up multi ssh keys, totally confusing.. at last it accepted the commit.

After committing a change, their is an issue.. the commit is made from my bitbucket ssh & not from my github ssh !

it's really confusing.

[girishg4t]
