IN Flutter Web getting 'XMLHttpRequest' error while making HTTP call

Question

I am using XAMPP control panel and using a local server like Apache port no 80, but in flutter web getting XMLHttpRequest error and in mobile device. The same coding fetches data using API not getting any error. How to fetch data using API while app run on flutter-web?

Error

Backend Side PHP Webservice

<?php

header("Access-Control_Allow_Origin: *");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true");
header("Content-type:application/json;charset=utf-8"); 
header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET");

include 'config.php';

$sql="select * from calinsert";
$result=mysqli_query($conn,$sql)or die("query failed");

if(mysqli_num_rows($result) >0){
    $output=mysqli_fetch_all($result,MYSQLI_ASSOC);
    echo json_encode($output);
}
else{   
    echo json_encode(array('message'=>'no record found','status'=>false));
}
?>

Flutter Side Code

Future getdata()async {
    final response = await http.get(
        'http://localhost:80/web_service/calview.php',
        headers: {
          "Accept": "application/json",
          "Access-Control_Allow_Origin": "*"
        });

    print(response.statusCode);
    print(response.body);
  }

Answer 1

In most cases of Flutter API use, add Access-Control-Allow-Origin value in header might resolve the issue. (Note: This will help in access the local or external APIs)

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");

Hint: you have typo in your above header, please check and correct.

Answer 2

1. Fix the typo (replace underscores by dashes):

    header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
   

2. Add the following header in your php code:

   header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Accept");
   

Answer 3

1- Go to flutter\bin\cache and remove a file named: flutter_tools.stamp

2- Go to flutter\packages\flutter_tools\lib\src\web and open the file chrome.dart.

3- Find '--disable-extensions'

4- Add '--disable-web-security'

Answer 4

Just removed the header attribute from the post method and it works for me.
