CORS Error when trying to POST to /continue

[raghucs]

Hi,

When my user logs in and is a new user I am checking his login count in a specific rule and then redirecting the user to a /onboard page in my application.

This redirect is going well and my onboarding page is shown.

Post gathering the data in the onboarding page I am trying to make a post to https:///continue?state=ORIGINAL_STATE

This is failing with a CORS error saying that http://localhost:8080 is not allowed.

Do I need to do anything specific to allow this - I have already made the http://localhost:8080 addition in both Allowed WebOrigin and Allowed CORS in my tenant on Auth0.

Thanks,
Raghu

For what it is worth I just recreated the webtask as a simple node webapp with minimal ch…
