Research direction

Start by reproducing the browser-console error while opening WavesExplorerLite and inspect the request to https://nodes.wavesnodes.com/node/version. Determine which project entry point initiates that request and how its credentials and cross-origin behavior are configured. Done means the explorer opens and the version request succeeds without the reported preflight error.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In the console of browser, I see this error:

Failed to load https://nodes.wavesnodes.com/node/version: Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check: The value of the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in the response must not be the wildcard '*' when the request's credentials mode is 'include'. Origin 'http://wavesexplorer.com' is therefore not allowed access. The credentials mode of requests initiated by the XMLHttpRequest is controlled by the withCredentials attribute.
