This header will determine how long the pre-flight request will be cached Access-Control-Max-Age Before sending the actual CORS request, the browser will send a pre-flight request to check the CORS headers. Additionally, the server also needs to return the following header Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true. The client needs to explicitly set the property withCredentials to true on XMLHttpRequest objects. Access-Control-Allow-Credentials By default, CORS requests will not pass credentials. Instead of allowing methods explicitly, you can use '*' as a wildcard to allow all methods.

Access-Control-Allow-Methods A comma separated list of HTTP methods that the client are allowed to use for the CORS request. Instead of allowing headers explicitly, you can use '*' as a wildcard to allow all headers. Access-Control-Allow-Headers A comma separated list of headers that the client can access when receiving the response. Instead of allowing headers explicitly, you can use '*' as a wildcard to expose all headers. Access-Control-Expose-Headers A comma separated list of headers that the client can access when receiving the response. You cannot use the wildcard option in combination with Access-Control-Allow-Credentials. Instead of allowing origins explicitly, you can use '*' as a wildcard for all websites. The back-end can explicitly allow cross-origin resource requests by using the following headers: Access-Control-Allow-Origin A comma separated list of origins you want to allow cross origin requests from. This security measure does mean it is harder for the front-end of websites to communicate with a back-end hosted on a different origin. Luckily CORS does exists and won't allow this. If you happen to be signed in, websites could potentially make transactions without your knowledge.

If CORS wasn't a thing, any website could make AJAX requests to your bank's website. An origin in this context means the combination of domain, protocol, and port. Skip the basics and go straight to the 'AppSettingsCorsAttribute' implementation or the 'ConfigCorsPolicyAttribute' implementation.īrowsers don't allow you to make AJAX requests from one origin to another, also referred to as 'Cross Origin Resource Sharing' (CORS).
