Answers for "from origin 'null' has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: It does not have HTTP ok status."

cross origin even with allow header

header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:8100');
header ("Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Content-Length, X-JSON");
header ("Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PATCH, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS");
header ("Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Content-Type, Authorization, Accept, Accept-Language, X-Authorization");
header('Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400');

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'OPTIONS') {
    // The request is using the POST method
    header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
    return;

}

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost/MySQL_pracs/InsertUser.php' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field content-type is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

//Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'http://localhost/[api path].php' from origin 'http://localhost:4200' has been blocked by CORS policy: Request header field content-type is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

//The error is simply saying that "Content-Type" is missing from "Access-Control-Allow-Headers".

//Therefore we need to add "Content-Type" to "Access-Control-Allow-Headers".

been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

My issue was the remote server not responding to OPTIONS requests, 
so after fiddling about with requests and headers for what seemed 
like ages I resolved it by removing the headers 
Content-Type and Access-Control-Allow-Origin
