I am facing this error XMLHttpRequest error.
while making an HTTP post call to my API-AWS API Gateway. My current Flow is Flutter web -> API gateway -> lambda -> rds.
I know there are already a couple of question-related to this like but as suggested in one of the answers to add some headers in response to lambda. but it doesn't work for me.
After doing some research I found out that the problem is regarding to CORS. now disabling cors in chrome is a temporary fix and suggested in this question.
some other solution that I found after researching suggested to enabled cors in my API and also in the frontend part I have added headers but none of them works.
fetchData() async {
String url =
"myUrl";
Map<String, String> headers = {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*", // Required for CORS support to work
};
String json = '{"emailId":"emailId"}';
http.Response response =
await http.post(Uri.parse(url), headers: headers, body: json);
print(response.body);
return response.body;
}
what is the correct way of solving this problem?
I have Solved my problem, and not going to delete this question because there aren't many well-defined solutions to this problem. For Future viewer who is using flutter web and AWS API-gateway.
The solution to the problem you have to enable CORS in api-gateway follow this link.
but if you are using proxy integration with lambda and api-gateway then in that case enabling CORS doesn't going to help, you have to pass on headers from the response of lambda function. like
return {
statusCode: 200,
headers: {
"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*", // Required for CORS support to work
"Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": true, // Required for cookies, authorization headers with HTTPS
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Origin,Content-Type,X-Amz-Date,Authorization,X-Api-Key,X-Amz-Security-Token,locale",
"Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "POST, OPTIONS"
},
body: JSON.stringify(item)
};
the format needs to be the same. also, one particular question that helps me a lot to understand this whole issue is going through the various answer of the question link.
Now comes my problem, what I'm doing wrong i that i am passing "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
from frontend and enabling CORS in API gateway also send similar headers which are creating a problem for me
Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'API-URL' from origin 'http://localhost:63773' has been blocked by CORS policy:
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. //this particular line
So after changing my function to this everything works perfectly fine
fetchData() async {
String url =
"API-url";
Map<String, String> headers = {
"Content-Type": "text/plain",
};
String json = '{"emailId":"emailId"}';
Map<String, String> map = Map();
map["emailId"] = "fake@gmail.com";
http.Response response = await http
.post(Uri.parse(url), headers: headers, body: jsonEncode(map))
.then((value) {
print("onThen> " + value.body.toString());
}).onError((error, stackTrace) {
print("onError> " +
error.toString() +
" stackTrace> " +
stackTrace.toString());
});
}
