Preflight response is not successful

I'm developing a web application with angular that sends a request to my Azure API. The API is protected by angular. When I call the url in the browser, I get redirected to the microsoft login page. After the login I come back to the API.

Now, I want to send a request to the API from my angular app:

const auth = btoa("[my username]:[my password]");
headers = {"Authorization": "Basic " + auth};

$http.get("http://[webapp name].azurewebsites.net/api/contacts", {headers: headers}).then(function (response) {
    console.log("!!!LoggedIn!!!");
});

I added the [webapp name].azurewebsites.net to my CORS in the azure portal. When I execute this, I get the error:

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 400 (Bad Request)

[Error] Failed to load resource: Preflight response is not successful

[Error] XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://[webapp name].azurewebsites.net/api/contacts

azurewebsites.net/api/contacts. Preflight response is not successful

Any idea how to fix it?

UPDATE

I tried it again with this code:

const auth = btoa("[my username]:[my password]");
var config = {headers:  {
              'Authorization': 'Basic ' + auth,
              "Origin": "http://[webapp name].azurewebsites.net/api/contacts",
              "Access-Control-Request-Method": "GET",
              "Access-Control-Request-Headers": "X-Custom-Header"
              }
};

$http.get("http://[webapp name].azurewebsites.net/api/contacts", config).then(function (response) {
    console.log("!!!LoggedIn!!!");
});

Now I'm getting these errors:

Refused to set unsafe header "Origin"

Refused to set unsafe header "Access-Control-Request-Method"

Refused to set unsafe header "Access-Control-Request-Headers"

Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'null' is therefore not allowed access. The response had HTTP status code 400

When I delete these "unsafe headers" the last error message is still there.

Why does Origin is null automatically?

You should add the address of your requesting site URL in CORS in your Server/Backend code. Each language or framework might have their own way of adding this, try to search "[backend language] cors" (e.g. "C# cors") in google. (credits to @Gary Liu - MSFT)

You can confirm you have added correct origin by inspecting network tab in developer's console.

First select the request with method OPTIONS enter image description here

Then verify the Access-Control-Allow-Origin is the same with your Origin enter image description here
