CORS using fineuploader - .htaccess

I want to use fineuploader with cross domain.
I get Request header field Cache-Control is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response. error.
My fineuploader config is:
request: {
endpoint: "http://api.polskieszlaki.local/4adm/zdjecia/fileupload",
},
cors: {
expected: true,
},
On my apache server in .htaccess I have
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type, Authorization"
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
I have no firther ideas to make it work.

The message cited in the question indicates you must change your .htaccess to have Cache-Control in the value set for the Access-Control-Allow-Headers response header, and because the Fine Uploader docs indicate it sends the X-Requested-With header, then altogether you need:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Cache-Control, Content-Type, Authorization, X-Requested-With"
The MDN docs for the Access-Control-Allow-Headers response header explain:
The Access-Control-Allow-Headers header is used in response to a preflight request to indicate which HTTP headers can be used when making the actual request.

How to stop CORS error when sending headers?

I want to be connected to a remote API through AJAX via http://localhost:5500. This is my code with a sample URL:
$.ajax({
url: "https://api.website.com/",
headers: { 'x-api-key': 'Sd6g8uieEk8couufkxv9MVp5xdDJBcTSA' },
type: "GET",
withCredentials: false,
success: function(data) { console.log(data) }
});
If I remove the x-api-key part from this code, I have not any issue and receive responses. But, as I add this section to the code, I receive CORS errors:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at
'https://api.website.com/' from origin
'http://localhost:5500' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to
preflight request doesn't pass access control check: It does not have
HTTP ok status.
I have added different settings in the .htaccess file, but they could not solve the issue:
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "http://localhost:5500"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "true"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers: *
I have read many articles, and did many changes on settings, but I could not solve the issue. May you help me please?

htaccess Allow Origin Multiple Domains with different Scheme

I need to allow Access-Control-Allow-Origin from the following domains:
http://localhost:8080
app://MyApp
This is my current .htaccess conditions that I need set for both of the above domains:
Header Set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "http://localhost:8080"
Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Authorization, Accept"
Header Set Access-Control-Expose-Headers "Content-Disposition"
I already read a lot of solutions in SO on this that says to have the server read the Origin header from the client, compare it to the list of domains and then add the values if it matches. However, I am still unable to figure out how will I set my .htaccess file so it includes:
2 different domains that uses different scheme
Also include Access-Control-Allow-Methods, Access-Control-Allow-Headers and Access-Control-Expose-Headers with it.
I don't want to use * unless that is the only option.
Can someone help me rewrite my above .htaccess condition to include the 2 domains please.
This is how I added Multiple Domains with different Scheme along with a check on origin to send back Access-Control-Allow-Origin and other headers with it based on the request origin. I did not want to edit the LiteSpeed config file directly. The following rules in my .htaccess seems to work:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
SetEnvIf Origin "(http(s)?://localhost:8080)|(app://MyApp)|(app://myapp)$" AccessControlAllowOrigin=$0
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin %{AccessControlAllowOrigin}e env=AccessControlAllowOrigin
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Authorization, Accept"
Header add Access-Control-Expose-Headers "Content-Disposition"
Header merge Vary Origin
</IfModule>

CORS Barrier from subdomain

I use my Web application in a subdomain also, I use a different subdomain for the interface objects.
That's the problem: CORS
Fonts are not installed because of cors barrier.
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading
the remote resource at
https://assets.example.com/fonts/simple-line-iconsc05f.ttf?thkwh4.
(Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).
Application:
https://ap.example.com
Assets:
https://assets.example.com
I added the root of Web application, .htaccess file:
<FilesMatch "\.(ttf|otf|eot|woff|svg|woff2)$">
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</IfModule>
</FilesMatch>
Also, nginx.conf file:
server {
...
location ~* \.(eot|ttf|woff|woff2)$ {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
}
...
}
Nevertheless, I'm still stuck in the cors barrier.
It has been tried many times with cache and different browsers. The result has not changed.
You can try this:
location / {
if ($request_filename ~* ^.*?/([^/]*?)$) {
set $filename $1;
}
if ($filename ~* ^.*?\.(eot)|(ttf)|(woff)|(jpg)|(png)|(css)|(js)$){
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' "*";
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, DELETE, PUT';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'User-Agent,Keep-Alive,Content-Type,X-Api-Token';
}
}
#Editor, whilst the solution from #Sahipsiz might work, CORS is a complex topic, and as per my previous comment, that solution is technically incorrect (even though it may have solved your symptom, the underlying problem is still there)...
First off, if your browser decides that CORS is in play, it will send the Origin request header, containing the full domain of the requesting page, e.g.:
Origin: https://ap.example.com
If the request doesn't include the Origin request header, then this isn't a CORS request, and you don't need to do anything CORS-related.
If you are sure that you don't need support for cookies to be passed to/from the assets domain, you can simply respond to a CORS request by including this response header:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
However, if you do need cookie support, you'll need to include these two response headers:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: <value of Origin request header>
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
So in your case, you would respond with this:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://ap.example.com
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
In some cases (which may well not apply to you, since you're just retrieving fonts), prior to making the main GET/POST/PUT/DELETE request, your browser will first make an additional 'preflight' OPTIONS request - this is basically the browser asking permission to make the main request. The OPTIONS request includes a number of CORS-specific request headers, and you need to return some 'matching' CORS response headers to this OPTIONS request (but no response body). If you do this correctly, the browser will then make the main request.
For that OPTIONS request, you should return the following CORS response headers:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: <value of Origin request header>
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: <value of Access-Control-Request-Method request header>
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: <value of Access-Control-Request-Headers request header>
Those response headers tell the browser that you are OK with the GET/POST/DELETE/PUT request it's about to make.
You can optionally also pass the following response header to the OPTIONS request (in addition to the four defined above):
Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400
which tells the browser to cache the OPTIONS response headers - this stops it from making the preflight request every time.
CORS ain't easy.

“Access-Control-Allow-Origin header contains multiple values” error

I'm getting mirriad of errors trying to do an ajax call in a reactjs app using axios. I have an api that lives at a subdomain and making calls from the main domain.
.htaccess:
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: "true"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,POST,PUT"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Headers: "Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Origin,Accept, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers"
ajax headers in reactjs (using axios):
var options = {
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://admin.mysite.com/menus/5',
headers: {
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,POST,PUT',
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Origin,Accept, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers'
}
}
I've tried making changes to each of these but get different errors. If I have the Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*" it complains about double origins. If I remove it I I get an error about Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response other changes has responded with Access-Control-Allow-Headers is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response
I'm using wordpress as a headless CMS and tapping into the restful api to pull the data I need. I have noticed if I removed all of this I can get my data fine but I can't post without fixing the cross domain issues.
If I remove it I I get an error about Access-Control-Allow-Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response other changes has responded with Access-Control-Allow-Headers is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response
Both those error messages are happening because in your frontend JavaScript code you have this:
headers: {
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,POST,PUT',
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Origin,Accept, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers'
}
You need to remove that entire headers option from your request code.
The reason is, all the Access-Control-Allow-* headers are response headers that servers must return. The only effect you’ll have by sending them as request headers is to cause exactly the kinds of errors cited in the question.
If the reason you’re adding them is that your .htaccess settings on the server side for the API endpoint you’re sending the request to aren’t making the server send the right response headers, then you need to figure that out and fix that on the server side. Sending additional request headers from the client side isn’t going to fix that problem.
One suggestion you might try for your .htaccess: instead of Header add, use Header set:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: "true"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "GET,HEAD,OPTIONS,POST,PUT"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers: "Access-Control-Allow-Headers, Origin,Accept, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Request-Headers"
Header set tells Apache to overwrite/clobber any existing value that might already be a set for a particular header, whereas Header add tells it to just add a header with the name and value given, without overwriting any header that might already be set with that name.
So Header add can cause multiple headers with the same name to be sent in a response, in which case the browser treats it as a single header with multiple values. You don’t want that.

Access-Control-Allow-Origin htaccess file not working

I am trying to enable HTTP access control (CORS) on a site using a .htaccess file with the following code:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "Content-Type"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "GET"
But I keep getting the error
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at [DOMAINNAME] (Reason: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' does not match 'Content-Type').
What am I doing wrong? Every tutorial I've found seems to suggest it should work.
-edit-
In Chrome the debug tools give me this additional info:
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains the invalid value 'Content-Type'.
Try with:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type"
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET"
