How to solve S3 CORS file error with 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header block

Did you upload a file to S3 to power your web application or visualization, and now it just won’t work? Let’s figure out what CORS is and how it prevents you from accessing a file that *seems* to work normally locally and when visiting the URL manually.

"All Amazon documentation is just horrific", just for that, you get a like and a subscribe. Thanks for this super clear and useful tutorial

Hats off for the video. When I saw that comment box telling me to write in some sort of json command, I about gave up on the spot lol

Extreme useful information. Thank you!

Thanks for the info, very helpful. Should be front and center in the S3 docs discussing presigned URL usage, which client will hit of CORS policy not set. For presigned, can limit allowed methods to just PUT. Thanks again!!

I've found that sometimes, even after having fixed the issue on CORS config on s3, chrome still complains. It's because of some sort of chrome cache, and ticking the "Disable cache" checkbox in the dev-tools (even temporarily) fixes the issue.

Front end developer here trying to wrap my head around a CORS issue, so please excuse if the question is nonsense:

Can allowed origins be cached in the cloudfront? For example, if I access from localhost:8000 and then try to access from localhost:8080, will cloud front return am allowed origin of "localhost:8000"? Like will the cached response prevent the allowed origin from being updated? Because that seems to be the case so far.

can we add multiple domains to get access for the buckets instead of All accessing via (*)

great video and very helpful, but the cors keep giving error now when i want to download the images.

Hi, what if it is a 3rd party API? How can I make changes on the frontend(ReactJs)?

If you are using CDN, make sure you attach the policy to the behaviour of the CDN distribution!

On the browser-side, hows does Safari get around this? On Chrome I can't upload images to a forum and get the CORS message but on Safari the file uploads.

have a good day sir, i have one question pls, how can we set this to image files, with extension .jpg, it's not a kind of json

[bryanferry]

how fix this error > Missing required request header. Must specify one of: origin, x-requested-with

[WhereisManthan]

I am getting this error on cors config page - The CORS configuration must be written in valid JSON.

"All Amazon documentation is horrific." LOL. So true.

[Danielagostinho]

what if we don't have access to change the server config and allow cors?

[chinosojude]

Yeah bro, all their documentation. I always scared to read it
