NuGet package dependency

Microsoft.Owin.Cors is a NuGet package dependency for the Pams API project that enables Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers in the OWIN request pipeline. It allows browser clients hosted on permitted origins to send requests to API endpoints and receive CORS-enabled responses.

Usage

typescript
const response = await fetch("https://api.example.com/pams/items", {
  method: "GET",
  headers: {
    Accept: "application/json",
  },
});

if (!response.ok) {
  throw new Error(`API request failed: ${response.status}`);
}

const items = await response.json();
console.log(items);

AI Coding Instructions

• Configure CORS in the OWIN startup pipeline before Web API middleware handles requests.
• Restrict allowed origins, methods, and headers instead of enabling CORS for every origin unless the API contract requires it.
• Confirm that preflight OPTIONS requests reach the CORS middleware and are not blocked by authentication or routing.
• Keep browser client origins aligned with the API CORS policy when adding new frontend environments.
