jQuery cross domain request response headers

问题

I am making cross domain ajax requests with html data type. They work OK as I include

Access-Control-Allow-Origin

in the response from the server. Problem is I need to get certain headers from the server's response and whatever I do, response headers apart from "content type" return null.

jQuery does the request, retrieves the response including headers (I can see it from the traffic) but it doesn't parse it.

I have tried using

crossDomain: true

It didn't help. Here is the sample response from the server.

Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*
Cache-Control:private
Content-Encoding:gzip
Content-Length:514
Content-Type:text/html; charset=utf-8 
X-MYRESPONSEHEADER:1

If requesting and responding document are on same server

 success: function (data, status, xhr) {
        totalRows = xhr.getResponseHeader("X-MYRESPONSEHEADER");

works fine. I have also tried to assign $.ajax to a variable like

var jQxhr = $.ajax(.....

I don't see why it wouldn't be parsed since jQuery actually makes the request and gets the response

Any ideas? Am I missing something?

Update or dragon's comment

Headers sent to request

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-MYRESPONSEHEADER

回答1:

You need to add another CORS-specific header in the server response, Access-Control-Allow-Headers. In this case,

Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-MYRESPONSEHEADER

Ref: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/http_access_control#Access-Control-Allow-Headers

If you're using aws s3 (and I assume this is applicable otherwise), the problem is possibly a missing CORS configuration tag. I ran in to a similar problem with missing. Here's my completed configuration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CORSConfiguration xmlns="http://s3.amazonaws.com/doc/2006-03-01/">
    <CORSRule>
        <AllowedOrigin>http://localhost:3000</AllowedOrigin>
        <AllowedMethod>GET</AllowedMethod>
        <AllowedMethod>POST</AllowedMethod>
        <MaxAgeSeconds>3000</MaxAgeSeconds>
        <AllowedHeader>*</AllowedHeader>
        <ExposeHeader>*</ExposeHeader>
    </CORSRule>
</CORSConfiguration>

AllowedHeader sets the Access-Control-Request-Headers header, and ExposeHeader sets Access-Control-Expose-Headers header, without which the browser wont allow javascript to use the returned headers.

回答3:

To read headers other than content-type in the server's response, the server must supply Access-Control-Expose-Headers, eg:

Access-Control-Expose-Headers: X-MYRESPONSEHEADER

@dragon's answer mentionsAccess-Control-Allow-Headers which only controls which headers the client can send when making a request to the server.

Here is configuration that worked for me. I've put it in java Filter filter method. Some headers need to be send only with preflight request (method = "OPTIONS"), there is no need to send them every time.

Please notice that for "Authorization" header the "Access-Control-Allow-Credentials" is also required.

 HttpServletResponse resp = (HttpServletResponse) res;
 resp.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "http://your_domain:your_port");
 resp.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials", "true");
 if (((HttpServletRequest) req).getMethod().equals("OPTIONS")) {
       resp.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PUT, DELETE");
      resp.addHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Authorization");
      return;
  }
