    apiCorsAllowedOriginList has no effect with .htaccess apache header - CORS Middleware

    Hello,

    I succeeded in allowing CORS middleware.
    And just wanted to share because I struggled to understand.

    Like him in this post, I had to add headers to make the CORS middleware works :
    https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/gene...791#post108791

    And when mod_headers are added then, apiCorsAllowed... in config.php is useless.

    So for info here is the code.

    data/config.php
    Code:
    return [
    'apiCorsAllowedOriginList' => [
    0 => 'https://FAKEwebsite.com'
    ],
    'apiCorsAllowedMethodList' => [
    0 => 'GET',
    1 => 'POST',
    2 => 'PUT',
    3 => 'PATCH',
    4 => 'DELETE',
    5 => 'OPTIONS'
    ],
    'apiCorsAllowedHeaderList' => [
    0 => 'Content-Type',
    1 => 'Accept',
    2 => 'X-Api-Key'
    ],
    If it does not work you don't need to modify the config.php.
    But you need to add mod_headers to your .htaccess

    .htaccess file /public/api/v1/.htaccess
    Code:
    <IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "https://LANDINGPAGEwebsite.com"
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, OPTIONS"
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type, Accept, X-Api-Key"
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials "true"
    </IfModule>
    So only one of this file is needed.

    ---
    Then this in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/routes.json
    Code:
    [
        {
            "route": "/Lead/:id",
            "method": "options"
        },
        {
            "route": "/Lead",
            "method": "options"
        }
    ]
    this in custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/api.json
    Code:
    {
    "globalMiddlewareClassNameList": [
    "Espo\\Tools\\Api\\Cors\\Middleware"
    ]
    }
    Have a great day.
