Http request failing with No Access-control-Allow-Origin flask-restful - ionic-framework

I am building an api with flask-restful and an ionic/angular mobile app, but requests to the api are failing with the error "XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:5000/api/v1/auth. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8100' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 400." even after specifying the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in the Resource response.
class Auth(Resource):
def post(self):
#some code here
return responseObject,200,{'Access-Control-Allow-Origin':'*'}
I have tried different browsers and when i check the network XHR calls the response headers don't show the it.
Content-Length:90
Content-Type:application/json
Date:Thu, 14 Sep 2017 11:46:25 GMT
Server:Werkzeug/0.12.2 Python/2.7.10
Yet when i use postman to send the requests, i see the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header
acccess-control-allow-origin →*
content-length →198
content-type →application/json
date →Thu, 14 Sep 2017 12:54:52 GMT
server →Werkzeug/0.12.2 Python/2.7.10
Anyone with an idea of what is happening, i will be glad to receive your help.
thanks in advance.

I think that you have to allow cross origin calls in your API. Have a look here : http://flask-cors.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Cross-Origin Request - "Same origin" blocked on GET request

I'm trying to deploy a SAILS app & a VUE app on heroku with a custom domain. I'm currently facing with something that seems to be a CORS issue, but I do not understand this one.
Problem
When I send a GET request to my backend in stage mode, (with postman or my frontend-app) I get an error message :
"... blocking Cross-Origin Request : the "same origin" policy does not
allow access to the resource located at
https://app-frontend.herokuapp.com/api/v1/account/user-controller
...".
The HTML response is :
Status 503 →Service Unavailable
Cache-Control →no-cache, no-store
Connection →keep-alive
Content-Length →511
Content-Type →text/html; charset=utf-8
Date →Tue, 24 Jul 2018 08:17:13 GMT
Server →Cowboy
And my sails console gives me this info :
Redirecting GET request from 'undefined.' subdomain...
But with POST requests, I don't face to this problem and my route is well defined as it works in dev mode.
Did you try setting csrf: false in the config/security.js? It shouldn't affect GET requests, but the key to your problem might be somewhere there.

TFS Web Calling an external REST Service throws 401 error

When creating a web hook within TFS (to access an external rest service url), I get a 401 error when testing (within the TFS application). I think call is not hitting API at all.
Below is the response I can see
Status Code: 401
Reason Phrase: Unauthorized
HTTP Version: 1.1
Headers:
{
Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM
X-Powered-By: ASP.NET
X-UA-Compatible: IE=EmulateIE8
Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2018 21:05:26 GMT
Content-Length: 1293
Content-Type: text/html
}
Any help would be appreciated!
The error ID 401 usually related to the authorization.
You could first use postman to double check user ID access to the API.
Also use week hook to access some other rest service url such as the example in Web Hooks. This will narrow down if the issue related to rest service url.
Besides try to use Basic Authentication, you can use alternate account instead. How to please take a look at:Protecting a VSTS Web Hook with Basic Authentication

301 moved permanently with socket.http

In python (and my browser), I am able to send a request to https://www.devrant.com/api/devrant/rants?app=3&sort=algo&limit=10&skip=0 and get a response, as expected, but with Lua, I get HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently. Here is what I have tried so far:
http = require("socket.http");
print(http.request("https://www.devrant.com/api/devrant/rants?app=3&sort=algo&limit=10&skip=0")
which outputs an HTTP error page (moved permanently) and
301 table: 0x8f32470 http/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
the table's contents are:
location https://www.devrant.com/api/devrant/rants?app=3&sort=algo&limit=10&skip=0
content-type text/html
server nginx/1.10.0 (Ubuntu)
content-length 194
connection close

Why does only Lua get this error? If I request to google, I get the google home page HTML. If I request to status.mojang.com, I get the mojang server statuses in a JSON response string, so the socket is functional for certain.
It's because you are using socket.http to request a page from https URL; since socket.http doesn't handle https, it sends the request to port 80, which gets forwarded to https URL, but socket library doesn't follow that redirect, as it doesn't "know" what to do with https, so it simply reports 301.
You need to install and use luasec and use ssl.https instead of socket.http, which will make it work.

Uber API issue with CORS

First time asking a question here. I'm a beginner at this, but i'm truly stumped at the problem i'm facing.
Browsers in use:
Safari and Firefox (both on Mac OS Sierra)
Firefox (Linux - Ubuntu 16.04.2)
I am registered as an Uber Developer and have registered an App in the Dashboard. I'm only using the Server Token for authentication at the moment. In the Dashboard, I have set the following entries in the "Authorizations" tab of the App for CORS (Optional URI for CORS Support):
http://localhost:8000 <-- web server in my PC
https://subdomain.mydomain.com <--- remote web server
A few months ago i created a web app using HTML, CSS and JS (with Jquery v2.2.4) to play around with the Ride Estimates API and was able to get it to report data for many locations in my area successfully. Somehow it no longer works. I'm trying to fix that and improve the functionality. However, i just can't get past the initial query to the API because of CORS issues that were not existent before.
My API URL is:
https://api.uber.com/v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********}
When i paste that in the address bar of the browser i get valid JSON:
{"prices":[{"localized_display_name":"uberX","distance":1.58,"display_name":"uberX","product_id":"811c3224-5554-4d29-98ae-c4366882011f","high_estimate":3,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":2,"low_estimate":2,"duration":420,"estimate":"2-3\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"X English","distance":1.58,"display_name":"X English","product_id":"8fe2c122-a4f0-43cc-97e0-ca5ef8b57fbc","high_estimate":4,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":3,"low_estimate":3,"duration":420,"estimate":"3-4\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"uberXL","distance":1.58,"display_name":"uberXL","product_id":"eb454d82-dcef-4d56-97ca-04cb11844ff2","high_estimate":4,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":3,"low_estimate":3,"duration":420,"estimate":"3-4\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"Uber Black","distance":1.58,"display_name":"Uber Black","product_id":"ba49000c-3b04-4f54-8d50-f7ae0e20e867","high_estimate":6,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":4,"low_estimate":4,"duration":420,"estimate":"4-6\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"},{"localized_display_name":"Uber SUV","distance":1.58,"display_name":"Uber SUV","product_id":"65aaf0c2-655a-437d-bf72-5d935cf95ec9","high_estimate":7,"surge_multiplier":1.0,"minimum":5,"low_estimate":5,"duration":420,"estimate":"5-7\u00a0$","currency_code":"USD"}]}
I then proceed to set up JS (w/ JQuery) code in webpage...
var url = "https://api.uber.com/v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********}";
$.getJSON(url, function(result){
console.log(result);
});
Uploading the HTML and JS to my remote web server and then loading the webpage in any of my browsers yields a 200 status from Uber API. However, the console log shows CORS blocking my request (PROBLEM #1):
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://api.uber.com/v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********}. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).
Then, in the Inspector view of both Mac Browsers, under the Network / Resources areas, i see the 200 Status message from the GET request. However, along with the Response message (PROBLEM #2):
SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected end of data at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data
The Request Headers are:
GET /v1/estimates/price?start_latitude=8.969145&start_longitude=-79.5177675&end_latitude=8.984104&end_longitude=-79.517467&server_token={*********SERVER*TOKEN**********} HTTP/1.1

In Firefox for Linux i sometimes don't get the Syntax Error; i always seem to get it on the Mac Browsers. In Linux, when i do get that error, then clicking on the "Edit and Resend" Headers button (resending the Headers but without really editing the Headers), the Syntax Error disappears and the Response text actually shows the Uber API Object that is supposed to be there... but i still get the CORS Blocked message on the Console Log. I really don't understand why this is, but it seems contradictory. In the end, i am unable to get to use the API data that, using the same method months ago, i could get for several dozens of locations.
I have looked for answers in similar questions but so far have found none that apply to my case. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Getting really frustrated... really stuck here.
This issue was caused by the API not including the header correctly. This issue is resolved and the api is now working as expected. Also, the allow origin header will only be returned in a response if an origin is specified in the request.

403 forbidden message while executing a rest message through Jmeter

I am trying to test a Rest service through HTTP sampler using Jmeter. The first sampler generates a token and I am using this token for authorization in the header manager of another HTTP sampler "GetUserandPolicies"(Rest WS request) using RegEx and ForEach controller. I can see in the view results tree that RegEx is working fine passing the actual token to the next request. But the Rest Request is failing giving a response message as Forbidden and Response Code 403 which means that the server is able to recognise the request but denying the access.There is no port number for this HTTP sampler which I suspect would be the culprit. But, the same test is passing with another tool (iTKO LISA) without any port value. Both the samplers "TokenGeneration" and "GetUserandPolicies" have no port values. I need some help on this. I am using the POST method in the HTTP sampler
Please find the sampler result:

Looking into Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization, X-Requested-With, Content-Type stanza I guess that you're missing proper Authorization header.
In regards to empty port everything is fine, it defaults to port 80 in case of HTTP and 443 in case of HTTPS
There are 2 options on how you can deal with Basic HTTP Authentication:
Pass username and password in URL like protocol://username:password#host:port/path
i.e. http://user:pass#your.server.com/somelocation
Use JMeter HTTP Authorization Manager to construct required "Authorization" header for you.
In case if your authentication system uses other approaches, i.e. Cookie-based, NTLM or Kerberos it's still possible but a little bit more tricky. If so - update this post with all details you can get (i.e. request details) and don't hesitate to leave a comment requesting for more input
