I have some issue with my symfony 4.1 API:
I'm consuming my API through a ionic application using angular httpclient.
My problem is with the CORS headers especially Access-Control-Allow-Methods
I've had problems with CORS since my API and my application aren't on the same origin which made my install nelmio/cors-bundle to handle CORS.
My nelmio_cors.yaml is as following:
nelmio_cors:
paths:
'^/api/':
origin_regex: true
allow_origin: ['*']
allow_methods: ['GET', 'OPTIONS', 'POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH', 'DELETE']
allow_headers: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']
max_age: 3600
This actually works for all the methods i was using since then:
- Post requests [OK]
- Get requests [OK]
- Delete requests [OK]
Now i wanted to add a PATCH route to my API. I've testing the controller with Postman and i works like a charm. Now when i query the same route from my angular service :
return this.http.patch(this.url + '/api/users/' + userId,
dataToPatch,
this.authHeaders)
.map(response => response.json());
The console logs the following:
Failed to load http://symfony.local/api/users/1: Method PATCH is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Methods in preflight response.
Here you can see the response headers of the request:
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: authorization,content-type
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Max-Age: 3600
Allow: POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE
Cache-Control: no-cache, private
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Date: Tue, 06 Nov 2018 14:02:51 GMT
Server: nginx
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
X-Powered-By: PHP/7.2.11
As you can see and if i understand CORS headers correctly, PATCH methods aren't allowed but then why does it works when using postman to consume the API.
I've also installed chrome's Allow-Control-Allow-Origin:* extension but no success there aswell...
I'm using https://github.com/ikamikaz3/docker-symfony as my stack could it come from there ? (misconfiguration somewhere maybe?)
I can provide more code if required but it seems like a stupid mistake to me...
EDIT 1 :
After uninstalling Allow-Control-Allow-Origin:* from chrome i get the following on login
Failed to load http://symfony.local/login_check: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header has a value 'null' that is not equal to the supplied origin. Origin 'http://localhost:8100' is therefore not allowed access.
EDIT 2:
After updating my symfony.conf with the following inside my nginx container, i managed to get the API to work, PATCH still broken tho but i think i can do it <3
if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' '*';
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, OPTIONS';
#
# Custom headers and headers various browsers *should* be OK with but aren't
#
add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'DNT,User-Agent,X-Requested-With,If-Modified-Since,Cache-Control,Content-Type,Range,Authorization';
#
# Tell client that this pre-flight info is valid for 20 days
#
add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000;
add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain; charset=utf-8';
add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
return 204;
}
