Access-Control-Allow-Origin and 3.0

[JohnCartwright]

Hello All,

I'm finding that when using 3.0, I get the following error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://server.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/info?f=json. Origin http://localhost is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Simply switching the API back to 2.8 eliminates the problem.  I've tried configuring both CORS and the proxyUrl, but neither helps.

Can someone please provide me some guidance here?

Thanks!

Hi John,

You can safely ignore these errors. There's info about this in the doc for esri.request (specifically, the bullet for 3.0).

Kelly also posted about this a couple of days ago:  http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/59988-Issue-Upgrading-to-version-3.0?p=207055&viewfull=1#post207055

Thanks Derek, I had not seen Kelly's message on this topic.  I'm surprised though that http://enable-cors.org/ reports that sservices.arcgisonline.com is a CORS-enabled site.

Glad to help.

Attached is what I see when I used enable-cors.org to check if CORS is supported on services.arcgisonline.com. That server is not set up for CORS.

Ignoring this warning doesn't work if you call a buffer task:

Why would this happen with a geometry service? I'm running API version 3.2.
