Not sure under which category my question falls. I'm in great confusion and really need some expert suggestions.
I have PHP site for E-commerce (Opencart) running on the domain- www.example.com and developed a PWA mobile website which is ready to be launched, at this point I have fallen into so many confusion.
- I want to host a mobile site with subdomain
m.example.com. The backend (REST API) is same for desktop and the mobile site which is hosted inexample.com - when I make API calls from
m.example.comtoexample.compreflight OPTION request is sent for each and every request which almost takes 200ms to 300ms. There is an option to avoid OPTION requests by making the simple request, but not possible with my case as I have Token based authentication and need to token in every API call
To avoid OPTION requests, the option is to host the same REST API in m.example.com as well (just checked mobile.twitter.com API request goes to mobile.twitter.com), and both
m.exampole.comandexample.comsharing common Database.- This has another problem, any change in the API needs the update in both sites.
My questions are
What is the optimal way of handling this situation?
if I'm going with
m.example.com- the redirection can be done at front-end level or via a .htaccess rule, which option is ideal?Is it a good idea to host REST API in
m.example.comas well?

Please, for the love of any future developers looking at this codebase, do not create 2 versions of the site. Use some responsive css and then you only need to maintain one version of the site. If however; you insist on creating 2 versions of the site; there is no way to prevent the OPTIONS request because that's the browser reaching out the get theAccess-Control-Allowed-Originheaders to see if it's allowed to interact with that server. Update yourAccess-Control-Allowed-Originto contain all the domains that will access that service. welcome to the world of CORS, prepare to cry.

Just one instance of the service with the correct headers set will address your problems, all API calls can go to www.example.com even from m.example.com.

I have enabled CORS already. I have checked some of mobile sites for example mobile.twitter.com , m.snapdal.com, m.licious.in etc , they all make API to same subdomain instead of main domain . Just curios to know how do they do it? By hosting API is subdomain as well ??? @AdamH

It's all in the Access-Control-Allow-Origin Header that your web service returns. If you are using credentials then you can't use*for the header, instead set it toRequest.Originor whatever the equivalent is in PhP
