Mobile app where it needs to get access to a JSON file in another server. And its showing cross origin policy blocked. So is there any way to bypass or have the access to the file ?
As already answered, you want a simple php proxy script.
This way your server grabs the json file and you simply access your server from client side. . That way javascript is only dealing with the same domain.
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo file_get_contents('http://example.com/data.json');
?>
Proxy.php
<?php
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo file_get_contents('http://example.com/'.$_REQUEST['file']);
?>
Another way also would be to send all of the request headers as a query string, this could be post/get as well
if (isset($_REQUEST['query'])) {
$sQuery = http_build_query($_REQUEST);
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo file_get_contents('https://www.example.com?'.$sQuery);
exit;
}
?>
Using the second example you can try something like http://localhost/proxy.php?file=somefile.json
HTACCESS METHOD
Refer the following page about using a htaccess file on the server htaccess Access-Control-Allow-Origin
<FilesMatch .(json|js|jsn)>
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *
</FilesMatch>
