Why does my JavaScript code receive a “No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource” error, while Postman does not?
Mod note: This question is about why XMLHttpRequest
/fetch
/etc. on the browser are subject to the Same Access Policy restrictions (you get errors mentioning CORB or CORS) while Postman is not. This question is not about how to fix a “No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’…” error. It’s about why they happen.
