CORS support for ASP.NET Web API

Overview

Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a standard that allows web pages to make AJAX requests to another domain. It relaxes the same-origin policy implemented on the web browsers that limits the calls to be within the same domain.

The CORS spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/) defines the way the server and browser interact in order to make cross origin calls (that is, cross domain). Most of the modern browsers today already support CORS. Our goal is to enable the support for our Web API services.

Required Assemblies

System.Web.Cors.dll

This assembly contains the core CORS library and has no dependency on System.Web.dll or System.Web.Http.dll.

System.Web.Http.Cors.dll

This assembly contains the library for enabling CORS on Web API and has dependency on System.Web.Cors.dll and System.Web.Http.dll.

Scenarios

Enabling CORS

We’ve added a new extension method to the HttpConfiguration to enable CORS. With this, you can enable the support globally, per controller or per action.

Globally

You can define a global setting when calling EnableCors. For example, the following will enable CORS globally, allowing all origins, methods, and headers. There are many settings on the EnableCorsAttribute that you can configure and are shown later in this document.

using System.Web.Http.Cors;
public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        // other settings removed for clarity

        config.EnableCors(new EnableCorsAttribute());
    }
}

Per Controller

The support can also be scoped to the controller. First you just need to call EnableCors without providing a global setting (that is, (new EnableCorsAttribute()).

using System.Web.Http.Cors;
public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        // other settings removed for clarity

        config.EnableCors();
    }
}

Then you can declare the EnableCorsAttribute on the controller to enable CORS.

[EnableCors]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
    }

    public string Get(int id)
    {
        return "value " + id;
    }
}

Per Action

In a similar fashion, you can enable CORS on a single action by first calling EnableCors.

using System.Web.Http.Cors;
public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        // other settings removed for clarity

        config.EnableCors();
    }
}

And then declare the EnableCorsAttribute on an action.

public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
    }

    [EnableCors]
    public string Get(int id)
    {
        return "value " + id;
    }
}

Attribute precedence

When you have the EnableCorsAttribute applied on all scopes (globally, per-controller, per-action), the closest one to the resource wins. Therefore the precedence is defined as follows:

1. Action
2. Controller
3. Global 

Excluding a controller or an action from EnableCors

You can use [DisableCors] attribute to exclude a controller or and action from the global or per-controller settings. For example, the following will enable CORS for all the actions in the ValuesController except for Get(int id).

[EnableCors]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
    }

    [DisableCors]
    public string Get(int id)
    {
        return "value " + id;
    }
}

Configuring [EnableCors] attribute

There’re few settings under the EnableCorsAttribute. These settings are defined by the CORS spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/#resource-processing-model).

• Origins
• Headers
• Methods
• ExposedHeaders
• SupportsCredentials
• PreflightMaxAge

By default, EnableCorsAttribute will allow all origins, methods and headers. Note that when you declare the attribute on an action it automatically assumes the HTTP Method of the action that you declared on.

As soon as you specify the origins, you are basically limiting the access to the specified origins. The same applies to the methods and the headers.

For example, the following will only allow “http://localhost” and “http://sample.com” to access the ValuesController from the browser though AJAX. Note that it is still allowing any methods and headers because they’re not specified.

[EnableCors(Origins = new[] { "http://localhost", "http://sample.com" })]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
    }

    public string Get(int id)
    {
        return "value " + id;
    }
}

Implementing a custom ICorsPolicyProvider

You can implement ICorsPolicyProvider to load the CORS settings/policy dynamically from other sources such as the web.config file or a database. In fact, both the EnableCorsAttribute and DisableCorsAttribute implement this interface internally.（这里就是让Cors可以从数据库或配置文件读取访问策略的关键所在）

namespace System.Web.Http.Cors
{
    public interface ICorsPolicyProvider
    {
        Task GetCorsPolicyAsync(HttpRequestMessage request);
    }
}

Note that the ICorsPolicyProvider is async so that we don’t block the thread on I/O.

Sample

Here is a custom implementation of ICorsPolicyProvider that loads the origins from web.config.

[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method | AttributeTargets.Class, AllowMultiple = false)]
public class EnableCorsAppSettingsAttribute : Attribute, ICorsPolicyProvider
{
    private CorsPolicy _policy;

    public EnableCorsAppSettingsAttribute(string appSettingOriginKey)
    {
        _policy = new CorsPolicy
        {
            AllowAnyMethod = true,
            AllowAnyHeader = true
        };

        // loads the origins from AppSettings
        string originsString = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[appSettingOriginKey];
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(originsString))
        {
            foreach (var origin in originsString.Split(','))
            {
                _policy.Origins.Add(origin);
            }
        }
    }

    public Task<CorsPolicy> GetCorsPolicyAsync(HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        return Task.FromResult(_policy);
    }
}

You can apply it on the controller/action just like EnableCorsAttribute.

[EnableCorsAppSettings("internal:origins")]
public class ValuesController : ApiController
{
    public IEnumerable<string> Get()
    {
        return new string[] { "value1", "value2" };
    }

    public string Get(int id)
    {
        return "value " + id;
    }
}

And it will read the “internal:origins” appSetting from the web.config.

<appSettings>
  <add key="webpages:Version" value="2.0.0.0" />
  <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
  <add key="PreserveLoginUrl" value="true" />
  <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
  <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
  <add key="internal:origins" value="http://example.com,http://webapisample.azurewebsites.net" />
</appSettings>

Implementing a custom ICorsPolicyProviderFactory

ICorsPolicyProviderFactory is an abstraction that allows you to specify how the ICorsPolicyProvider is retrieved. By default we provide the AttributeBasedPolicyProviderFactory which allows you to specify the ICorsPolicyProvider as attributes ([EnableCors], [DisableCors]). However you can extend the ICorsPolicyProviderFactory to create a centralized configuration model.

namespace System.Web.Http.Cors
{
    public interface ICorsPolicyProviderFactory
    {
        ICorsPolicyProvider GetCorsPolicyProvider(HttpRequestMessage request);
    }
}

You can register the custom ICorsPolicyProviderFactory through SetCorsPolicyProviderFactory extension method.

public static class HttpConfigurationExtensions
{
    // other extensions removed for clarity
    public static void SetCorsPolicyProviderFactory(this HttpConfiguration httpConfiguration, ICorsPolicyProviderFactory corsPolicyProviderFactory);
}

Sample

Here is a custom implementation of ICorsPolicyProviderFactory that allows you to configure the CORS settings through your own CorsConfiguration class instead of attributes.

public class ConfigBasedPolicyProviderFactory : ICorsPolicyProviderFactory
{
    private CorsConfiguration _configuration;

    public ConfigBasedPolicyProviderFactory(CorsConfiguration configuration)
    {
        _configuration = configuration;
    }

    public ICorsPolicyProvider GetCorsPolicyProvider(HttpRequestMessage request)
    {
        var routeData = request.GetRouteData();
        if (routeData == null || !routeData.Values.Keys.Contains("controller"))
        {
            return null;
        }
        var controller = routeData.Values["controller"] as string;
        return _configuration.GetPolicyForRequest(controller);
    }
}

public class CorsConfiguration
{
    private Dictionary<string, EnableCorsAttribute> _settings = 
       new Dictionary<string, EnableCorsAttribute>();

    public void AddSetting(string controller, EnableCorsAttribute policyProvider)
    {
        _settings.Add(controller, policyProvider);
    }

    public virtual EnableCorsAttribute GetPolicyForRequest(string controller)
    {
        EnableCorsAttribute policyProvider;
        _settings.TryGetValue(controller, out policyProvider);
        return policyProvider;
    }
}

Once the ConfigBasedPolicyProviderFactory is registered, it will enable CORS on ValuesController and UsersController.

CorsConfiguration corsConfig = new CorsConfiguration();
corsConfig.AddSetting("Values", new EnableCorsAttribute());
corsConfig.AddSetting("Users", new EnableCorsAttribute { Origins = new[] { "http://localhost" } });
config.SetCorsPolicyProviderFactory(new ConfigBasedPolicyProviderFactory(corsConfig));

config.EnableCors();

Integration with Web API Tracing

When you call config.EnableCors(), it automatically adds the necessary tracers when the ITraceWriter is provided.

using System.Web.Http.Cors;
public static class WebApiConfig
{
    public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
    {
        // other settings removed for clarity

        config.EnableSystemDiagnosticsTracing();

        config.EnableCors();
    }
}

It will emit traces similar to what’s highlighted below when you have the Web API tracing package installed and enabled.
