CORS Issue #534

Closed llamasoft-dotcom-demo closed 7 years ago

llamasoft-dotcom-demo commented 7 years ago

Attempting to call the health check endpoint from my browser client (localhost, development environment), and getting a CORS problem:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://congress.api.sunlightfoundation.com/. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access.

Code looks like:

$.get(https://congress.api.sunlightfoundation.com)

Using Chrome 54.0.2840.87.

I don't yet have an API key, as the page looks like it's down. This endpoint shouldn't require it, though. The doc also mentions all domains are allowed, so it should "Just Work". Is this something that's being addressed, or is it an issue on my end?

Thanks!

I think the whole thing is down for now:

I can access the URL directly through the browser. My issue occurs during an AJAX request.

Looks like it's due to this commit.
