Getting the HTML source of a page in NodeJS

Question

I'm currently struggling to get the HTML source of a webpage in NodeJS due to cors restrictions. Using JQuery I'm making a GET request to a page expecting an HTML response. This however throws the error XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.reddit.com/. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:8000' is therefore not allowed access XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.reddit.com/. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:8000' is therefore not allowed access XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://www.reddit.com/. Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://127.0.0.1:8000' is therefore not allowed access . Is there a way to bypass CORS using NodeJS? (like via proxy)

        $.ajax({
        url: 'https://www.reddit.com/',
        headers: {
            'Content-Type': 'text/html',
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": '*'
        },
        type: "GET",
        data: {
        },
        success: function (result) {
            console.log(result);    
        },
        error: function () {
            console.log("error");
        }
    });

I'm also using webpack dev server with the following headers

    headers: {
        "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": '*',
        "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials": "true",
        "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS"
    }

Do not use jquery in nodejs, you can use this libs to archieve what you need:

• isomorphic-fetch
• request

Hope it helps
