OPTIONS请求禁止axios 403

Question

I am working on an application using React+Redux and using axios to make api calls.

Here's a sample call which fails:

axios.post(`${API_ROOT}${FIND_USER}${currentUserID}`, {
        headers: {
                'Authorization': token
        },
      })
    .then((response) => {
        console.log("Sucess")
    })

Request url when I see in network is something like:

http://domainName:8080/users/findUser/1234

API call fails at OPTIONS itself and error I am receiving from backend is

Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 403

It never reaches POST .

token is retrieved from localstorage and is something like Bearer eyJhbGci... .

Backend developers are using Java and Spring .

Is there something wrong in the way I am calling the APIs or this problem should be resolved in the Backend?

This API works totally fine when tested through Postman.

Answer 1

Turns out there is already a solution for this problem in the backend :

How to configure CORS in a Spring Boot + Spring Security application?

It works like a charm !

Answer 2

'headers' always come as 3rd parameter in POST request of axios. Give 2nd arguement if there is any or pass 2nd parameter as empty String.
