Angular 9 and .NET Web Api - How to fix CORS issue with a http.post request

i am implementing an angular 9 application, that should communicate with a .NET web api.

The web api is published in my local IIS 10 on http://localhost:8080 or http://localhost:44348 for testing when i debug from Visual Studio.

The http.get request works fine, but when I do an http.post request, i get the following error:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost:8080/api/Login/Post_User' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: It does not have HTTP ok status.

but if i try to do a post request with Postman, it works fine.

This is the code I use go call the web api from my angular app:

this.apiService.post(this.user);
.....

  public post(user){
    return this.httpClient.post<any>(this.api_post_url, user).subscribe(data => {});
  }

and here is my web api method:

[HttpPost]
[ActionName("Post_User")]
public IHttpActionResult Post_User(User value)
   {
       // make insert in my database
       return Ok();
   }

... but the following "http.get" code works fine, and I am able to get my user

this.profileUserService.getByEmail(this.user.email).pipe(
            map((user: User) => {
              return user;
            })
          ).subscribe((data: User)=> {            
            if(data.name === undefined)
            {
                this.router.navigate(['/profile-user']);
            }else{
                this.router.navigate(['/profile-user']); //GO TO DASHBOARD
            }
          });        
    }

  .....

  public getByEmail(email: string){    
    this.url = `${this.api_get_url}` + email;
    return this.httpClient.get(this.url)
  }

I also tried to implement a proxy in my Angular app, but with the same result

proxy.conf.json:

{
    "/api/*": {
        "target": "http://localhost:8080",
        "secure": false,
        "logLevel": "debug"
    }
}

package.json:

...
"start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json",
...

and finally angular.json

...
"proxyConfig": "src/proxy.conf.json"
...

always with the same result enter image description here

Thanks in advance for your help.

You need to enable CORS in your Web Api.

If you use .NET framework, install Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors from nuget.

Then add the following code in your WebApiConfig.cs

config.EnableCors();

Finally, add the following attribute to each methods you want

[EnanleCors(origins: "*", headers: "*", methods: "*")]

You can choose which origins can do requests

Hope this helps.
