Is OPTIONS HTTP method supported on Azure CDN?

Miguel Garcia Lopez 0

We have an Microsoft CDN (classic) Endpoint setup backed by a Storage Blob Container.

Whenever an OPTIONS request is issued (due to a browser dealing with CORS), we are getting a 405 (method not allowed) response from the CDN. The response includes a x-ms-error-code: UnsupportedHttpVerb header and also allow: GET,HEAD.

We have setup CORS in our Blob service from the Storage account, allowing for all origins, headers and GET, HEAD and OPTIONS methods:

If, via curl for example, I try to do OPTIONS on the resource, I am getting the 405. This does however not happen for GET nor HEAD.

So, is OPTIONS supported at all for Azure CDN? Is there anything (else?) we should be configuring?

Thanks in advance!

@Miguel Garcia Lopez Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

Have you set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to wildcard (*) or a single origin? Please refer here- https://zcusa.951200.xyz/en-us/azure/cdn/cdn-cors#wildcard-or-single-origin-scenarios

I am facing same problem and the documentation seems to be confusing, why do we get 405, is it coming from blob or CDN? if OPTIONS not supported how do even browser pre flight calls will work?

Yes, we have set the Access-Control-Allow-Origin indeed, and as a matter of fact it all works OK for example for the GET method. It is when we are using OPTIONS that we are experiencing this issue.

It should be supported if your original host is responding to these requests as described here. Adding @SumanthMarigowda for additional context.

Hi @Marilee Turscak-MSFT , I am facing exactly the same issue as described in original post from @Miguel Garcia Lopez . My CORS settings in Storage account are also set correctly.

And doing an OPTIONS request via postman ends up with:

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, in the attached image it can be seen my configuration: Allowed Origins in Blob Service column is '*' indeed. Is this not enough? Thanks!

I have the same as you do, but still the options requests fails with 405.
