I got this problem sorted by downloading and installing a chrome extension, that sets the web security setting 'on' and 'off'.

Link for the extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-control-allow-origi/nlfbmbojpeacfghkpbjhddihlkkiljbi?utm_source=chrome-app-launcher-info-dialog

• Visual studio seems to run a separate/second copy of Chrome.
• You have to install the extension in the Chrome instance that VS opens when it runs Ripple. If you install the extension in your normal Chrome browser, it is not available in the instance that VS uses.
• I then had to set my ripple proxy setting to disabled.
• The call also fails if I just debug in ripple, with the CORS setting already on. I have to physically flip the switch, off, and then on again, every time I debug in ripple, otherwise I get the cross domain issues.

All is good now, life can go on.
