cross origin request code example
Example 1: javascript cors error
$.ajax({
headers: { "Accept": "application/json"},
type: 'GET',
url: 'http://cl.ly/2wr4',
crossDomain: true,
beforeSend: function(xhr){
xhr.withCredentials = true;
},
success: function(data, textStatus, request){
console.log(data);
}
});
Example 2: what is CORS
Use CORS to allow cross-origin access.
CORS is a part of HTTP that lets servers specify any other hosts
from which a browser should permit loading of content.
How to block cross-origin access
To prevent cross-origin writes,
check an unguessable token in the request — known as a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token.
prevent cross-origin reads of pages that require this token.
To prevent cross-origin reads of a resource,
ensure that it is not embeddable.
prevent embedding because embedding a resource always leaks some information about it.
To prevent cross-origin embeds,
ensure that your resource cannot be interpreted
Browsers may not respect the Content-Type header.
For example, if you point a <script> tag at an HTML document, the browser will try to parse the HTML as JavaScript. When your resource is not an entry point to your site, you can also use a CSRF token to prevent embedding.
