No response when sending request with firebase auth token

Questions / Help
1

Hello,
I am having an issue that I cannot get any response from my app deployed on fly.io.
I put bearer token on Authorization headers with each request for firebase authentication.

I am using Rails7 for backend API (fly.io).
Console errors shown on client side.

 XMLHttpRequest at 'https://{my app name}.fly.dev from origin 'http://localhost:3001' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
xhr.js?1a5c:220          GET https://{my app name}.fly.dev net::ERR_FAILED 502

Cors setting using rack cors gem.

Rails.application.config.middleware.insert_before 0, Rack::Cors do
  allow do
    origins 'http://localhost:3001', 'https://{frontend url}'

    resource "*",
      headers: :any,
      methods: [:get, :post, :put, :patch, :delete, :options, :head]
  end
end

app = "my app name"
kill_signal = "SIGINT"
kill_timeout = 5

    handlers = ["tls", "http"]
    port = 443

  [[services.tcp_checks]]
    grace_period = "1s"
    interval = "15s"
    restart_limit = 0
    timeout = "2s"

[[statics]]

  url_prefix = "/asdfasdf"

There is no problem on development invironment. I also deployed my Rails app on heroku, and it works without any problem. So I guess the problem causes only on fly.io …?

Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi @kazumi

It looks like your fly app is returning a 502 response. Have you checked your app logs to see if there’s any information?

You can access a live view of the logs using the fly cli or the fly.io dashboard.

Thank you for your reply.

The log doesn’t show any useful information…

It took long time to process, and finally got Completed 200. However, the client side actually got 502 error.

This happen only when I put “Authorization bearer token” on request headers to use firebase auth.
Thus, I am guessing that adding something on request headers causes problems on fly.io.

Ah, thats probably the issue. fly.io has a timeout of 2 minutes, if your app doesn’t respond in that time then fly.io considers that request as failed and returns a 502.

Thank you for your reply.

Hmmm,
What makes a long time process?:thinking:
Does fly.io accept request headers and then give us response headers?

Confirmed that it’s working fine now😊

The issue could be related to this post.
