@Robs CORBs is a new browser feature. It restricts cross-domain access to JSON, XML, and HTML resources (and, as a special feature, text/plain as well). You'll need to read the specs.

| Jul 29, 2018 at 17:14 | comment | added | Robs | I am slightly confused. Because I am able to call out to other external APIs by setting CORS. So I am not 100% sure why this won't work (being dumb sorry). Is this CORB restriction set on the Salesforce REST API servers? | |
| Jul 29, 2018 at 17:09 | comment | added | sfdcfox♦ | @Robs That's correct. Unless salesforce.com actively adds an API endpoint on the lightning.force.com URL (which they likely will never do), there's no means of calling any API other than Lightning-approved methods. Like others have said, the only client-side solution would be a Visualforce proxy, which practically means you may as well just write a VF page instead of a component. | |
| Jul 29, 2018 at 13:08 | comment | added | Robs | @sfdcfox Please may I clarify, even if I got the correct Session ID for JsForce, I still would not be able to use it because of CORB regardless of my CORS settings? | |
| Jul 29, 2018 at 11:09 | comment | added | Robs | @sfdcfox Thank you. Do we know if there is any plan by Salesforce to a Lightning JavaScript library which has the same capability, or is it impossible due to the security restrictions? | |
| Jul 29, 2018 at 10:47 | comment | added | Christian Szandor Knapp | I agree for most Usecases. Valid in my eyes would be tooling API for example. | |
| Jul 29, 2018 at 10:33 | comment | added | sfdcfox♦ | @ChristianSzandorKnapp I think so, as long as the VF page makes the calls; you'd basically be using the Visualforce page as a proxy server to Salesforce. I can't see how this would be the lesser of two evils as opposed to just using Apex Code directly. | |
| Jul 29, 2018 at 10:28 | comment | added | Christian Szandor Knapp | So, in conclusion, VF + lightning:container, right? | |
