Preflight CORS in JIRA REST API (GET request with headers)

unknown

Hello,

I'm trying to use the REST API JIRA to catch informations about my installed plugins. To do that, I created an Angular 6 project and I used HttpClient to do an GET request wich I pass my basic authorization in the header.

 

I got an Preflight cors error..

app.component.ts

const httpOptions = {
headers: new HttpHeaders({
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
    'Authorization': 'Basic ' + btoa('xxx:xxx')
  })
};
this.httpService.getHttp('https://jira.mydomain.com/rest/plugins/1.0/', httpOptions)
  .subscribe(jsonPlugins => {
this.filterPlugins(jsonPlugins);
    this.setPluginsLastestVersion();
  });

http.service.ts

getHttp(url: string, httpOptions: {}) {
return this.http.get(url, httpOptions);
}  

I'm completly lost. If someone could help me

Have a good day, thanks

Hi Julien,

As you are using angular js to access the plugin rest api installed in the jira, you are trying to make a Cross-origin HTTP request. In this case, the jira server has to allow the client (from where get request is made) to receive the response that it is sending.

So I guess, you need to add this header parameter 

Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*'

in the response that you are sending from your plugin.

For more information regarding CORS, please check the following url

Also, I could find something similar in the atlassian community. Below is the link

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks,
