I followed the usual steps to enable cors in web.api, but I get a 404 response to the OPTIONS request in Chrome and in Firefox I get Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.mydomain.com/api/1/widgets. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.
In my WebApiConfig.cs I have:
var enableCorsAttribute = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*");
config.EnableCors(enableCorsAttribute);
I also tried adding attributes EnableCorsto specific controllers or actions, and they all have the same result.
I also added the following to my web.config:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>
<handlers>
<remove name="WebDAV" />
...
Here is my javascript:
$.ajax({
url: 'https://api.mydomain.com/api/1/widgets',
type: "GET",
headers: {
Accept: "text/html; charset=utf-8",
Authorization: 'Bearer ???????????????????????????????'
}
});
But the answer to question 404 in Chrome and "Request for cross-request blocked" in Firefox.
The following is information about a failed request from the Chrome toolbar:
