What is CORS Tester?

CORS controls which origins can access a resource from a different origin. This tool makes a cross-origin request and reports the Access-Control-* headers.

How it works

We attempt a fetch with credentials and report the response headers, matching them against your origin to tell you whether the request would succeed from your current context.
