Apache 2.4.54 - CORS Issues When Serving Static Files from a Different Domain
I'm having a hard time understanding Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. I'm working with a question with Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) while using Apache 2.4.54 to serve static files from a different domain. My setup consists of an Apache server that serves a web application on `app.example.com`, and I'm trying to serve static assets like images and stylesheets from `static.example.com`. No matter how I configure CORS in my Apache settings, the browser keeps throwing errors about blocked requests. Here's the configuration I currently have in my `httpd.conf` for `static.example.com`: ```apache <VirtualHost *:80> ServerName static.example.com DocumentRoot /var/www/static <Directory /var/www/static> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None Require all granted Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" Header set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, OPTIONS" Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "Content-Type" </Directory> </VirtualHost> ``` I also tried adding `Header always set` instead of `Header set`, thinking it might help, but the scenario continues. In the browser console, I see messages like: ``` Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://static.example.com/image.png' from origin 'http://app.example.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. ``` I've confirmed that the static files are accessible from the browser directly, just not when requested from `app.example.com`. I even tested with various methods like `OPTIONS` and `GET`, but it seems the headers aren't being applied correctly. Does anyone have insights on what might be going wrong or how to debug this effectively? Thanks in advance! I'm working on a mobile app that needs to handle this. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
