What is a CORS error and how can I fix it?

A CORS error occurs when a web application tries to access resources from a different origin without permission. You can fix it by configuring the server to allow cross-origin requests.

What does 'same-origin policy' mean in this context?

The same-origin policy is a security measure that restricts web pages from making requests to a different domain than the one that served the web page. It helps prevent malicious actions.

How can I enable CORS on my server?

To enable CORS, you can add specific headers to your server's response, such as 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'. The exact method depends on the server technology you're using.

Are there any security risks with enabling CORS?

Yes, enabling CORS can expose your server to security risks if not configured properly. It's important to only allow trusted domains.
