Replit

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.
