CORS not working with function apps calling IPFS

Question

Hello

We are trying to use a function app to set / get data from IPFS. The CORS is allowed on https://ipfs.infura.io:5001 and following is the code snippet

const auth = 'Basic ' + Buffer.from(REACT_APP_projectId + ':' + REACT_APP_projectSecret).toString('base64');
// Create an IPFS client instance
const client = ipfsClient.create({ host: "ipfs.infura.io",
port: 5001,
protocol: "https",
headers: {
authorization: auth,
}
});
const ipfsCIDIndentity = (await client.add(encodedIdentity)).path;

However, for some reason, the IPFS call does not go through.

Kallol Borah Thanks for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. Have you enabled CORS for your Function App? I suggest you review Cross-origin resource sharing doc and enable CORS for the Function app.

If it is already enabled and still face the issue, share more info about the request/response from the logs or App Insights. That would help in understanding the issue and assist you better.
