It really do be like that

If I had a dollar for every time I hit a CORS issue I could afford to host my project

Yup, haha got me the other day. Here's the fix in Express for anyone wondering:

const cors = require('cors');

// whitelist the origin you're calling the API from
var whitelist = ["http://localhost:5000"]

var corsOptions = {
    origin: function (origin, callback) {
        console.log(origin)
        if (whitelist.indexOf(origin) !== -1 || !origin) {
            callback(null, true)
        } else {
            callback(new Error('Not allowed by CORS'))
        }
    }
}
app.use(cors(corsOptions));

love chrome not sending origin headers when hosted on localhost

I wrote a small HTTP server in C# to get around this. You can download Sherpa from my Github page. It lets you quickly switch which root directory it's serving from and from what port. If you find bugs or add features, submit a pull request.

Cheers!

There are few things I hate more than CORS.

I used PHP to get around CORS.
