req.headers.origin is undefined

问题

Fairly new to Node and Express. I have a sails.js app that relies on knowing the origin of a request as I need to authenticate the request is coming from a domain that is registered.

I've seen in the logs that the origin is empty occasionally, why would this be happening? Is it not a good idea to rely on the origin property, is there another option?

Thanks

回答1:

The origin may be hidden if the user comes from an ssl encrypted website.

Also: Some browser extensions remove origin and referer from the http-request headers, and therefore the origin property will be empty.

You might want to create some sort of authentication token and pass it as a parameter, instead on relying on request headers. Especially since the headers can be faked/manipulated.

Try with this:

app.use(function(req, res, next) {
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", req.header('origin'));
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials","true");
  next();
});
