I'm am trying to fetch a serverless function from a react app in development mode with the following code.
let response = await fetch(url,
{
method: 'POST',
mode: 'cors',
body: "param=" + paramVar,
})
.then(response => response.json());
The backend function is a Python Cloud function with the following code:
def main(request):
# CORS handling
if request.method == 'OPTIONS':
# Allows GET requests from any origin with the Content-Type
# header and caches preflight response for an 3600s
headers = {
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST',
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type',
'Access-Control-Max-Age': '3600'
}
return ('', 204, headers)
# Set CORS headers for the main request
headers = {
'Content-Type':'application/json',
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'Content-Type',
}
# Process request
return (json.dumps(response), 200, headers)
But I keep getting the following error:
Access to fetch at 'url' from origin 'http://localhost:3000' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. If an opaque response serves your needs, set the request's mode to 'no-cors' to fetch the resource with CORS disabled.
When I try to perform the same request using curl I get a proper response. Using curl to get the options gives me the following:
HTTP/2 204
access-control-allow-headers: Content-Type
access-control-allow-methods: GET, POST
access-control-allow-origin: *
access-control-max-age: 3600
content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Anyone can help me understand why I'm not able to get a response at my front-end? The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' is present in the headers so I really don't understand what is the cause of this error.
