"No Access Control Allow Origin" in AngularJS - angularjs

I am trying to develop a website that reads a JSON response from a certain endpoint and post it after certain processing to the page.
I am using $http.get(url) (AngularJS)
However I am facing problems getting the response.
I have tried to use other URLs and it worked then the cause of the problem probably is not the code.
The Error is: "No Access Control Allow Origin header is present on the requested resource".
Other responses suggested something related to CORS and privacy issues ; but when i type the URL directly in my browser it gives a JSON response directly. (So basically there is no privacy issues in the server side right?)
My question is what should I do ? Is there another way to get the content of the page pointed by the url (i am sure that it will only contains the JSON response)
Thanks in Advance

I came across this question:
1. If we substitute the URL in the address bar, it is similar to receiving data from the server of this site
In order to send requests to other servers need to use JSONP HTTPS for secure channel
Sending data can be carried out, but with the replies received will be a problem in the form JSON
Please send to the server if use PHP, then use CURL
JS->Our server->Server api->Our server->JS

Chrome CORBS issue with images

I have a react webapp that calls an api (that calls another api using fetch) for image urls and renders the images on the screen through img tags.
The issue I'm having is that the images don't load and instead i get a CORB warning in the console.
Cross-Origin Read Blocking (CORB) blocked cross-origin response
https://website.com
with MIME type text/html. See
https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5629709824032768 for more
details.
Notice that im having an issue with CORB not CORS A lot of online posts just give the soluton of adding stuff to the headers which may solve CORS issue but i don't believe they solve CORB. In any event, the api i'm using is not mine so i wouldn't be able to add anything server side anyway.
Do i need to add something to my project client side to get this to work? Any ideas would be appreciated.
That happens because the type you requested does not match the data type that is responded from the server. to overcome this try to compare the two. But, if you doesn't have access to target server, You can make a proxy to the destination server. create one more server that will edit the response header from example.com
Example:
Client App => Your proxy server with modified Content-Type header (Ex: http://myproxy.com) => Your destination server (Ex: http://example.com)
Or if you don't want to create a new server and the application is only opened by you personally, you can replace your browser with a version that doesn't yet apply CORBS.
There is no other attempt I know for the client besides that.

How is "No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header" a server issue if I can turn on a CORS extension and it works?

I access a server that I can change in any way. It is only available to me.
GETS / POSTS work in curl, but I get an error in my angular web app
I read a ton of posts about this, and after nothing seemed to work, I installed the CORS extension to Chrome, added *://*/*, and I have to turn it on anytime I'm trying to access the server. But it works.
Most of the posts say this is because the server does not allow access from outside sources. So I did some more digging and found the W3 CORS enabled site, that specifies a filter must be added.
However, when I get the error, I can open the network panel and see that the response came back exactly as I was expecting, so why did I get an error?
This makes it seem like Chrome is not allowing access.
Why must the server be changed to allow this?
Does this mean anyone with this chrome extension can access my server?
It seems like it should be possible to configure a header in my $http.get that would allow this, but everyone keeps saying its the server...
Cross domain calls are not allowed by default. When the browser makes a call to a website or Web-API sitting on a different domain than the domain opened on the browser, it includes a HTTP header "Origin" in the request. The server looks at this header and if it's white-listed it includes the header Access-Control_Allow_Origin in the response. All this happens in a pre-flight request using HTTP Options method before the actual GET/POST call. So for the CORS to work the server has to allow the client domain, so the browser can make further calls.

Communication with an API

I have a Symfony2 API and an AngularJS app which consumes it.
I'm facing a problem when trying to connect a member. It should work like this :
The client sends a POST request to the API, on the route /api/public/users/connection. The content of the request is a JSON object like this : {"username":"qzdqzd","password":"qzdqzdc"}
The server verifies the request and send back either a 400 response, with a body containing the error message (such as "This username does not exist."), or a 200 response, with the API key in the content to be stored in a cookie.
I'm facing a very strange problem. I have two instances of the API : one in my computer, in local, and the other one on the web (http://api.galaxia-online.com). When my AngularJS code is configured to request the local API, it works as expected :
It's in french, but you can see in red the error message.
But when I change my AngularJS code to request the distant API, with the same request, I receive a 400 error code, but with no content in the response. Plus, Firefox tells me that I have a CORS problem.
I thought at first that I misconfigured CORS on the server, but! When I try to do the exact same request with a dedicated browser addon (RESTClient in my case), it works perfectly :
So I start to think that the problem could be caused by AngularJS. The request seems valid, and seems to work as it do in RESTClient, but AngularJS doesn't receive anything.
I'll be grateful if someone has a clue.

working with $http.post function

I want to save data using AngularJS and RestApi. I am sending an object in data parameter.
I tried both $http.post() direct method and $http() method , but non of these are working.
Always the error coming is "Method not allowed-405"
I am running on local machine.
Edit:
Eventually by doing some modifications like I specified "localhost:xxx" before the 'api/abc', now I am getting the error as "The requested resource does not support the http method 'POST'".
The reason is that the API you're using does not support POST requests to the URL you're trying to POST to
More info from http://www.checkupdown.com/status/E405.html below
All Web servers can be configured to allow or disallow any method. For example if a Web server is 'read-only' (no client can modify URL resources on the Web server), then it could be set up to disallow the PUT and DELETE methods. Similarly if there is no user input (all the Web pages are static), then the POST method could be disallowed. So 405 errors can arise because the Web server is not configured to take data from the client at all.

Force.com callout: Is there a way to get the full response from the target server

When calling a web service from Force.com, I am getting:
System.CalloutException: Web service callout failed: Unexpected
element. Parser was expecting element
'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/:Envelope' but found ':HTML'
The network guys at the other end has asked to see the full response that Salesforce is getting from their server.
Is there a way to achieve that? I have tried running with debug level 'Finest' from execute anonymous, but that yields the same little message with no further detail.
The message you are getting is because an error is generated as Saleforce is trying to parse the response is and it isn't logged unfortunately.
The parsing error is happening because instead of a SOAP message response you are getting an HTML page. This usually happens when you are accessing a service that is protected behind a firewall. Which means you may be able to see the service when browsing on your computer but remember that Salesforce is outside of your firewall and thus any communication by Salesforce to your service will be blocked.
Couple of ways to address this but this wiki topic from Salesforce best covers the options:
http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_om_outboundmessaging_security.htm
The above is specific to outbound messaging but essentially the technology issues are the same.
Don't forget that Apex includes an HttpRequest Class that works as a lower layer than the SOAP APIs. You should be able to write up a test method that sends a hard-coded XML request to the server and dumps the HttpResponse so you can see it.
Adding my own best answer, based on some internet research:
You can use an external tool like Runscope as a webservice proxy to automatically forward requests and pass through responses and view the XML SOAP messages. This is not a native solution on SFDC but it does do the job.
https://www.runscope.com/
The issue is that Force.com is trying to parse a SOAP response that's actually just HTML. This happens sometimes when an error occurred server-side and the response is meant for a browser to display, rather than sending back an exception report via a properly formatted SOAP response.
If they can't figure out why they are not sending back a consumable SOAP response, then you can try using other tools (outside of Force.com) to make the same webservice call from your browser and then see what the HTML actually says on return.
