Python Eve：请求的资源上没有“Access-Control-Allow-Origin”标头

Question

I have written an API using Python EVE framework. While trying to access the API from an AngularJS app it shows an error as shown below :

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://127.0.0.1:5000/user/jay3dec. Request header field Authorization is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers. 

In order to correct the above error I added the following to the settings.py

X_DOMAINS = '*'
X_HEADERS = 'Authorization'

Now the above error disappears and a new error shows in the console :

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://127.0.0.1:5000/user/jay3dec. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8000' is therefore not allowed access. 

But I have already added the X_DOMAINS = '*' in my settings.py .

Here is the angularjs code:

    $scope.validate = function() {

    var encodedUserNameAndPassword = Base64.encode($scope.username + ':' + $scope.password);

    $http.defaults.headers.put = {
        'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
        'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS',
        'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': '*'
    };
    $http.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Basic ' + encodedUserNameAndPassword;

    $http({
        method: 'GET',
        url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/user/jay3dec'
    }).
    success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        console.log(data);
    }).
    error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        alert(data);

    });
}

Can any spot what may be the issue

Answer 1

FWIW, I had similar problem.

Then I learned that only schema defined APIs will get the effect of X_DOMAINS header. The api if any you define on your own using something like app = Eve(settings=blah) and the @app.route() will not be affected by the X_DOMAINS header. So, in that case, you need to write your own decorator.

Answer 2

Eve will trigger a CORS response only if

• the request includes a Origin header
• X_DOMAIN is set in your configuration file ( settings.py )

Since latter condition seems satisfied already, I would make sure that the request is a proper CORS request and it includes an Origin header.

UPDATE after reading the comment below I think that Postman restricts the Origin header. Try with curl instead:

curl -H "Origin: http://example.com" --verbose http://localhost:5000

With X_DOMAIN set to * that request should return something like so:

< HTTP/1.0 200 OK
< Content-Type: application/json
< Content-Length: 141
< Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://example.com
< Vary: Origin
< Access-Control-Allow-Headers:
< Access-Control-Expose-Headers:
< Access-Control-Allow-Methods: HEAD, OPTIONS, GET
< Access-Control-Allow-Max-Age: 21600
< Server: Eve/0.5 Werkzeug/0.9.6 Python/2.7.8
< Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2015 08:41:08 GMT

If this works then the server is serving CORS request properly. You can then fiddle with X_HEADERS and other CORS server-side settings as you need.

You must config eve as.

X_DOMAINS = '*'
X_HEADERS = ['Authorization','Content-type']
and angular as 
$http.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = 'Basic ' + auth;

That's work for me.

Also you need to turn on CORS on your AngularJS app

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', [
    'myAppApiService']);

myApp.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
        $httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
        delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
    }
]);

A server supporting CORS must respond to requests with several access control headers:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"

By default, CORS requests are not made with cookies. If the server includes this header, then we can send cookies along with our request by setting the withCredentials option to true.

Access-Control-Allow-Credentials (optional)

If we set the withCredentials option in our request to true, but the server does not respond with this header, then the request will fail and vice versa.

I was able to get past my issues by using pip install flask-cors and then editing my eve application to use it:

from flask.ext.cors import CORS
app = Eve()
CORS(app)
