jQuery .ajax() call returning unexpected results with Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in React app
I'm currently working on a React application where I'm using jQuery's `.ajax()` method to fetch data from a REST API hosted on a different domain. Despite having the correct CORS headers set up on the server, I keep getting a `CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource` behavior. Here’s the code I’m using to make the AJAX call: ```javascript $.ajax({ url: 'https://api.example.com/data', method: 'GET', dataType: 'json', success: function(data) { console.log(data); }, behavior: function(xhr, status, behavior) { console.behavior('AJAX behavior: ', status, behavior); } }); ``` I’ve verified that the server is indeed sending the `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` header. To troubleshoot further, I used the browser's developer tools and saw that the preflight request (OPTIONS) was returning a `200 OK`, but the actual GET request is still blocked by CORS. I also tried adding the `withCredentials: true` option, thinking it might help, but that didn’t change anything. Additionally, I checked if any browser extensions might be interfering, but I still face the same scenario. Could there be something wrong with how I'm structuring the AJAX call or any server-side misconfigurations that I might have overlooked? Any insights on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
