CORS Header Generator

CORS Header Builder

Generate Access-Control-Allow-* headers for common cross-origin scenarios. Detect wildcard and credentials conflicts early.

Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true

Generated Result

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://app.geekformat.com
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PATCH, DELETE, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization, X-Request-Id
Access-Control-Expose-Headers: ETag, X-Trace-Id
Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
Access-Control-Max-Age: 600

CORS Checklist

1. If using cookies or Authorization credentials, browsers do not accept * as Allow-Origin.

2. Preflight requests typically also require the server to correctly respond to OPTIONS.

3. Frontend can only see non-simple response headers that are exposed via Access-Control-Expose-Headers.

FAQ

How to quickly generate correct CORS response headers?

Enter allowed origins, methods, request headers, and whether to include credentials first, then generate corresponding response headers. This is more reliable than manual typing and helps avoid wildcard-credential conflicts.

Why can't Access-Control-Allow-Origin use wildcard with Credentials?

When credentials are allowed, browsers don't accept wildcard origins. This tool helps you identify such common conflicts early, reducing cross-origin errors during integration.

Is it suitable for preflight OPTIONS request configuration?

Yes. It helps generate Methods, Headers, Max-Age, and other common preflight-related fields, suitable for frontend-backend cross-origin debugging and gateway configuration.

Can I copy the output directly into server configuration?

Yes. Generated results are suitable for copying into Nginx, Express, Spring Boot, gateway rules, or other server-side configurations, saving time on manual header writing.
