Hi All,

I have created a sample application hosted in IIS server (local) , which will send a AJAX request from origin "https://xxxx.domain.com" to "https://localhost:15101" for getting some data but it is getting failed with below error on Edge Browser v89.0, the same request is working fine in Chrome browser.

ERROR : Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://xx.xxxx.xx' from origin 'https://localhost:15101' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

I've tried adding the CORS headers - CrossDomain: true in the AJAX call as below but it doesn't help either

$.ajax({
url: https://localhost:15101,
dataType: 'json',
type: 'GET',
Content-Type: 'application/json',
crossDomain: true,
xhrFields : { withCredentials: true },
}).done( successCallback)
.fail(errorcallback);

I also tried couple of other ways, it nothing helped. Did anyone facing the same issue on EDGE Browser ?

Note: the issue started occurring after updated to latest version of EDGE.

Can anyone please help me with this?

    @Ajithkumar G ,
    For testing purposes, I suggest you install the CORS module in IIS and add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to web.config file.

    Sample web.config file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  
    <configuration>  
     <system.webServer>  
       <httpProtocol>  
         <customHeaders>  
           <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />  
         </customHeaders>  
       </httpProtocol>  
     </system.webServer>  
    </configuration>  
    

    See whether it helps to fix this issue.

    Hi Deepak,

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Unfortunately, it doesn't work either. Also the response header (Access-Control-Allow-Origin : * ) was present in the response when i try

    the same in Chrome Browser and CORS module were handled by the server application (i.e calling URL- localhost) fine.

    Adding the same header in web.config file resulting in duplicate entry since the server also adding it and site gets unavailable.

    Issue is happening only in Edge Browser and its getting blocked by CORS Policy.
