Hey, we need more information to understand the issue. How are you fetching the images? What CORS policy have you setup?
no error information no header information no WAF information no nothinghow exactly is anyone supposed to help you?
Troubleshooting 403 / CORS issues with R2
So, your assets aren't loading because you are getting a CORS error despite having setup everything correctly?
Let's try troubleshooting.
In your browser console, do you see a 401/403 error right above the CORS error? If yes, then you aren't actually dealing with a CORS issue! If you do have a CORS issue, head to the last section.
If you are using a Custom domain
Go to the Network tab and find the failing request (you may need to reload the page, since only requests after opening the developer tools are logged).
You need to check the response headers for the following two headers:
-
cf-cache-status
- cf-mitigated
If you have a cf-mitigated
header
Your request was blocked by one of your WAF rules. Go to Security Events and look for what service blocked your request.
If you don't have a cf-cache-status
header
Your request was blocked by Hotlink Protection.
Go to your dashboard and disable it or write a configuration rule to only disable on your Custom domain
If you are using the S3 API
Your request is very likely incorrectly signed.
Try executing the request via curl to inspect the real response returned by the S3 api and then tackle that issue.
Once your request is correctly signed, you'll receive the proper CORS headers.
If it's actually CORS
Here are some common issues with CORS configurations:
- ExposeHeaders
is missing headers like ETag
- AllowedHeaders
is missing headers like Authorization
or Content-Type
- AllowedMethods
is missing methods like POST
/PUT
(you do not need to include OPTIONS
)Hey there thanks for the response. I have a React app made with Vite and am just displaying images using the regular
<img/>
tag. I'm not familiar with CORS policy but I used this site and it returned these headers for my site:
https://cors-test.codehappy.dev/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faverwhy.net&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fcors-test.codehappy.dev%2F&method=get
yes, they dont work on my dev branch: https://dev.aversite.pages.dev/
:Ermm:
not for me lol:rooThink:
seems to be working for me too
thats so weird
I swear if its my school's network...
could very well be the reason
that would be strange though because I can see the images fine on the main site
update, currently trying it on Mullvad vpn, with location set to Boston. still throwing 403's
