CORS Preflight Request Blocked on Replit
API calls fail with CORS error: 'Access to XMLHttpRequest blocked by CORS policy'. Browsers block requests from your frontend to your API.
Same-origin policy requires explicit CORS configuration.
Error Messages You Might See
Access to XMLHttpRequest has been blocked by CORS policy
Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check
Access-Control-Allow-Origin missing
Common Causes
- No CORS headers in API response
- Access-Control-Allow-Origin doesn't include frontend origin
- Preflight OPTIONS method not handled
- Custom headers not in Access-Control-Allow-Headers
- Credentials mode mismatch (include vs omit)
How to Fix It
For Spring Boot, use @CrossOrigin annotation or WebMvcConfigurer. Set allowedOrigins=" to allow Replit domain. Handle OPTIONS method: @RequestMapping(method={RequestMethod.OPTIONS, RequestMethod.POST}). Client must use credentials: 'include' if sending cookies. Allow custom headers needed by client.

Vlad Temian
15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.
