Welcome to CORS errors, so sorry you made the trip. :)

CORS will eventually click for you and then it will always make sense. Until then, sorry you’re going through the muck.

I honestly feel like CORS was invented just to get people to use reverse proxies more.

CORS enables site operators to prevent third-party sites from offloading requests for them onto clients, and conveniently reduces XSS exposure as a side-effect.
