Error Troubleshooting

XMLHttpRequest cannot load XXX

Symptom

You get the error

XMLHttpRequest cannot load xxxxx. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://xxxxxxx' is therefore not allowed access.

Cause

You are uploading or downloading to/from a web server which is in a different domain than your current website and that web server doesn't allow accessing from a different domain.

Solution

Try uploading to the same domain or update the server-side configuration to allow cross-domain requests. If you are using IIS, you can refer to the following configuration.

<system.webServer>
    <httpProtocol>
            <customHeaders>
            <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
            <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="OPTIONS, POST, GET, PUT" />
            <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="x-requested-with" />
            <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Credentials" value="true" />
        </customHeaders>
    </httpProtocol>
</system.webServer>

Note

After updating the server configuration file, you'll need to restart the server (i.e. IIS).

If you are downloading a file, you might need to clear the browser cache because a cached file will not be requested again from the server, thus still no 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header will be presented.

If you need to send cookies/credentials (e.g., Windows Authentication), enable credentials via code:

DWTObject.HTTPRequestswithCredentials = true; // adds withCredentials:true on upload requests
