CORS error when using elasticsearch.js

I am trying to test an index from my local machine. I created a simple HTML page with a query box that sends the query to ES using the elasticsearch.js client. Both the index and the browser are on my desktop, so there shouldn't be a cross origin problem, but I keep getting an error that states:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost:9200/portal/book/_search?q=title%3Ahistoire. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://localhost:9200/. This can be fixed by moving the resource to the same domain or enabling CORS.

I tried enabling CORS, but get the same error. Here are the index's settings:

{
    "portal": {
        "settings": {
            "index": {
                "creation_date": "1421788614558",
                "uuid": "jg-iHjnSTDGHODY0_x4Ysw",
                "number_of_replicas": "1",
                "http": {
                    "cors": {
                        "enabled": "true",
                        "allow-origin": "/(http://)?localhost(:[0-9]+)?/"
                    }
                },
                "number_of_shards": "5",
                "version": {
                    "created": "1040299"
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

index.html

<!DOCTYPE html >

                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>

angular.module('portal', [
    'controllers',

var client = new elasticsearch.Client({
    host: 'http://localhost:9200',

            $scope.results = client.search({
                    index: 'portal',
                    type: 'book',
                    q: 'title:' + $scope.queryTerm

            );
        };

Add following line to your config yml file

http.cors.enabled : true
http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
http.cors.allow-methods: OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
http.cors.allow-headers: X-Requested-With,X-Auth-Token,Content-Type,Content-Length
http.cors.allow-credentials: true

and kill elastic search java process on unix based system like is demonstrated on this topic response https://stackoverflow.com/a/41644614/11079315

I don't know why you are getting a cross domain error to begin with. Are you opening your front end as file://.... ? Totally random guess and not sure it matters. If you are and want to run your UI through a web server, you can open a terminal, cd into that dir and run 'python -m SimpleHTTPServer 7000'. Now your UI is running on localhost:7000.

For CORS settings, see http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-http.html and, if you are using Chrome, http://www.williamjohnbert.com/2013/06/allow-cors-with-localhost-in-chrome/ might help.

In your config you should at least set 'http.cors.enabled: true' and 'http.cors.allow-credentials: true'. The other defaults should be sensible. You may also want to modify the 'http.cors.max-age' setting in case old settings are cached.

Use the js console, net tab in your browser to see what headers you are getting back.
