EnableCors attribute can be applied on a specific controller or controller method.
If applied at a controller level then it is applicable for all methods in the controller. To apply it at the controller level
1. There is no need to create an instance of EnableCorsAttribute in Register() method of WebApiConfig.cs file. Call the EnableCors() method without any parameter values.
config.EnableCors();
2. Apply the EnableCorsAttribute on the controller class
In the same manner, you can also apply it at a method level if you wish to do so.
To disable CORS for a specific action apply [DisableCors] on that specific action
When CORS is enabled, the browser sets the origin header of the request to the domain of the site making the request. The server sets Access-Control-Allow-Originheader in the response to either * or the origin that made the request. * indicates any site is allowed to make the request.
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors
