Hello developers, I am using Django 1.9 with python 3.5. On the frontend we are using Angularjs and we are trying to access the API. While trying to access POST, the API hits with OPTIONS method and the data does not comes up. I thought to use django-cors-headers and used all the settings as specified in the django-cors-headers documentation, and ultimately came to know the django-cors-headers supports only Django 1.8 for now. After that I am unsure what to use to avoid OPTIONS preflight issue.
Here is my staging.py (settings) from .base import * DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis', 'NAME': get_secret('DATABASE_NAME'), 'USER': get_secret('DATABASE_USER'), 'PASSWORD': get_secret('DATABASE_PASSWORD'), 'HOST': 'XXXX.XXXXX.com', 'PORT': '5432', # you can change this like: DATABASES['default']['PORT'] = 'some_other_port' } } EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com' EMAIL_HOST_USER = get_secret("EMAIL_HOST_USER") EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = get_secret("EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD") EMAIL_PORT = 587 EMAIL_USE_TLS = True SERVER_EMAIL = "test...@abcd.com" ADMINS = ( ('admin','ad...@abcd.com') ) SITE_ADDRESS = 'http://api.admin.com' MEDIA_ROOT = str(BASE_DIR / 'media') STATIC_ROOT = str(BASE_DIR / 'staticfiles') STATIC_URL = '/static/' MEDIA_URL = '/media/' LOCAL_SMS_RECIPIENT = get_secret('LOCAL_SMS_RECIPIENT') LOCAL_EMAIL_RECIPIENTS = get_secret('LOCAL_EMAIL_RECIPIENTS') BROKER_URL = 'redis://localhost:6379' # TODO: on production, this has to be on RabbitMQ CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND = 'redis://localhost:6379' TEST_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN = get_secret("TEST_FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN") TEST_GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN = get_secret("TEST_GOOGLE_ACCESS_TOKEN") # CORS_ORIGIN_ALLOW_ALL = True # # CORS_ALLOW_HEADERS = ( # 'x-requested-with', # 'content-type', # 'accept', # 'origin', # 'authorization', # 'x-csrftoken' # ) # # CORS_ALLOW_METHODS = ( # 'GET', # 'POST', # 'PUT', # 'PATCH', # 'DELETE', # 'OPTIONS' # ) CORS_ALLOW_HEADERS = ( 'content-type', ) CORS_ALLOW_METHODS = ( 'GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'PATCH', 'DELETE' ) EXCEPTION_MASKING = False could anyone please let me know how to overcome the OPTIONS preflight error. I am stucked in this issue. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
