1102337 - CORS GET request with no special headers fails to follow redirect

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P5)

Description

[fiatjaf]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:35.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/35.0
Build ID: 20141110194624

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to http://fiatjaf.alhur.es/scrapbook/
2. Wait for the page to load


Actual results:

Firefox sends a preflight (OPTIONS) request to https://fiatjaf.couchappy.com/scrapbook/_design/scrapbook/_rewrite, then the actual request, and gets back a 302 redirect, which it does not follow and fails with an unrelated error: "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://fiatjaf.couchappy.com/scrapbook/_design/scrapbook/_rewrite. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS."

The page shows a blank form and nothing below it.


Expected results:

The browser shouldn't have sent the preflight request, as the main request was a simple GET with no special headers, then it should had followed the redirect.

The page should show a list of comments below the blank form.

Jason, anything we already know of?

The page became a 404.

fiatjaf, any chance you can give us a new demo or turn it into a test: https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests?

Bulk-downgrade of unassigned, >=3 years untouched DOM/Storage bug's priority.

If you have reason to believe this is wrong, please write a comment and ni :jstutte.

Let's close this due to lack of needed follow-up.
