Wildcard CORS on App Platform

Posted on June 20, 2022

On the “How to Configure CORS policy in App Platform”, How-To page, I couldn’t find info on how to add a wildcard for CORS.

https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/configure-cors-policies/

By wildcard, I mean accepting requests from anywhere everywhere

For configuring the CORS policy in the DigitalOcean App Platform, unfortunately, there isn’t a direct option to set a wildcard (*), accepting requests from all origins. You need to manually enter the URLs you want to allow.

Though it’s a limitation, it’s part of a security measure to restrict and control which URLs can interact with your application.

I encourage you to read over DigitalOcean’s CORS Policies
