cors - Chrome not showing OPTIONS requests in Network tab

Question

My web client application is setting HTTP POST requests via fetch API.

I see that OPTIONS preflight requests are sent via debugging proxy (Charles Proxy), but they are not displayed in Google Chrome Developer ToolsNetwork tab.

I don't have any filters setup on the network tab. I remember OPTIONS requests being visible there, but not anymore. How do I bring them back?

Answer 1

You'll need to go to: chrome://flags/#out-of-blink-cors, disable the flag, and restart Chrome.

This is an expected behavior change according to:
