I am attempting to create a User via a POST request to my Laravel 4 API from an external site. I've added the following code to my app/filters.php file:
App::before(function($request)
{
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'OPTIONS') {
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://www.myexternalsite.net');
header('Allow', 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Origin, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization, X-Request-With');
header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true');
exit;
}
});
App::after(function($request, $response)
{
$response->headers->set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', 'http://www.myexternalsite.net');
$response->headers->set('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
$response->headers->set('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Origin, Content-Type, Accept, Authorization, X-Requested-With');
$response->headers->set('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials', 'true');
$response->headers->set('Access-Control-Max-Age','86400');
return $response;
});
when I run my dev tools on the POST request from http://www.myexternalsite.net I get the following warning message:
event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead. main-built.js:6
and the following error messages:
OPTIONS http://api.mywebsite.com/users 500 (Internal Server Error) main-built.js:7
OPTIONS http://api.mywebsite.com/users No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://www.myexternalsite.net' is therefore not allowed access. main-built.js:7
Am I missing something?
