App Platform: Could there be a "allow_headers" option for CORS?

Posted on November 3, 2020

Hey there.

I am getting the CORS error: “Request header field authorization is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.”

This is due to not being able to set “allow_headers” in the App Specification file. (This key does not yet exist.)

Is there any way to do something about this?

Stay healthy! Nick

I am building an embedded app into another website. I would like to set “Access-Control-Allow-Origin” to “" and “Content-Security-Policy” to "frame-ancestors https://.xxx.com”

Is it possible to do so?
