Question

Getting 403 error on font files using App Platform with Spaces

Hi,

I have a test project hosted on the App Platform combined with Spaces. All static files hosted there work just fine with one exception: fonts. When I load the page I get the following error in console: net::ERR_ABORTED 403.

My file structure is as follows:

PROJECT
-app
-app
--templates
--static
---static/CSS -> .css file
---static/fonts -> font files

In my css the font files are loaded as follows:

@font-face {
    font-family: 'poppins-bold';
    src: url('/static/fonts/Poppins-SemiBold.woff2') format('woff2');
}

I tried to set **CORS **in my spaces settings with the following origin: https://*.ondigitalocean.app and GET as method.

What am I doing wrong or missing? This works perfectly fine in development, just not in production.

Hi there,

After setting the allowed origin to https://*.ondigitalocean.app and the allowed Methods GET, did you also add a Allowed Header? If not, you can do so and specify * as the value.

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby
