Is using absolute URLs for frontend API calls truly unadvisable?

I’m testing if direct API calls via absolute URLs are a good idea. Is this setup less ideal due to potential security risks or added complexity compared to proxying?

hey, im curious about this too. i feel abs urls can be ok if secured well but might open up vulnerablites if setup wrong. did u try a proxy test? what were ur experimnts like?

i think abs urls can work fine if your certs and cors settings are good. they make some things easier, but you gotta be careful with misconfugurations that might exploite vunerabilities. id say weigh debuggin ease vs potential risks.
