DigitalOcean Spaces CORS Error | Quick Fix

If you have been coming across CORs errors while working with DigitalOcean Spaces, you have come to the right place.

CORS, short for Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, is a security mechanism used by web browsers to restrict cross-origin HTTP requests made from one domain to another.

This protects user data and prevents unauthorized access.

According to our experts, a CORS error occurs when a request made from a web application hosted on one domain tries to access resources hosted on a different domain and the server hosting those resources restricts the request.

How to fix the DigitalOcean Spaces CORS error

• We have to specify the allowed origins, methods, headers, etc to enable cross-origin requests to our DigitalOcean Spaces. We can do this by setting up CORS rules.
• Next, we have to ensure that we add the domain from which our application is making requests to the list of allowed origins in the DigitalOcean Spaces CORS configuration. This tells the server that requests from our web application’s domain are allowed.
• On the client-side we have to set the headers to allow cross-origin requests to DigitalOcean Spaces. For instance, we can include the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in the HTTP requests and set it to the domain of our web application.
• Once we configure the CORS settings in DigitalOcean Spaces and set the headers in the web application, we have to test our application. We can verify this by accessing and retrieving resources from DigitalOcean Spaces without any CORS errors.
