CORS error referencing JavaScript files

Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Using this method to upload a Javascript file

But then, when I try to reference it from the Squarespace site, I get a CORS error:

Access to script at 'https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57014b5b746fb963478e3d4f/t/5d7ba83d4e25b616833d896b/1568385085375/runtime-es2015.js' (redirected from 'https://brooke-meek.squarespace.com/s/runtime-es2015.js') from origin 'https://brooke-meek.squarespace.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

Am I doing something wrong here?

That's presumably what @popsovy was already doing, as it's the method used in the page he linked to. Unfortunately that doesn't work, as /s/filename.ext is loaded from static1.squarespace.com, for which Squarespace unhelpfully don't have a CORS Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

How does one get/find the static1.squarespace.com URL @MattB2? Whenever I put in the domain.com/s/script.js URL into my browser, for example, it just automatically downloads the script file. Doesn't actually show where the redirect URL is.

Hi @popsovy - did you resolve this? 

Ccing you as well @MattB2

I am trying to use d3.csv to access a file I have uploaded as a link and whatever I get a 404 with the filename and a CORS with /s/ + filename or the full https static1.squarespace link...  Confused!

In the "Custom CSS" area, there's a control to allow uploading "Custom Files" (font files). When uploaded this way, the CORS headers are set correctly, automatically. Clicking on an uploaded file automatically inserts the file's path in your custom css, but you need to check where the path is inserted.

Hello. I realize this is an old thread, but I couldn't find a solution elsewhere. I'm trying to upload audio files and use them in custom code. It's impossible to upload them to Custom CSS and any other method gives me the CORS error. Using "https://static1.squarespace.com" etc. isn't working either.

Thank you!
