View in Sense is no longer working

[clintongormley]

The View in Sense buttons in the docs no longer work. There were issues with the website itself (see https://github.com/elastic/website-www.elastic.co/issues/744) but these have been resolved. Now I think the issue is with Sense/Kibana.

When trying to load this URL: http://localhost:5601/app/sense?load_from=http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snippets/copy-to/1.json

I get this in the console:

unable to load ace/lib/es5-shim
sense?load_from=http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snippets/copy-to/1.j…:1 XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/snippets/copy-to/1.json. 
Request header field kbn-xsrf-token is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight response.

So first the JSON snippet doesn't load. But then there is a second issue caused (I think) by the ?load_from... query string. If I try to run a command in Sense, I get:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'indexOf' of undefined (http://localhost:5601/bundles/sense.bundle.js:28371)
Version: 4.3.0-snapshot

@clintongormley is this something we can fix on our end until we can patch sense? If we add kbn-xsrf-token to the Access-Control-Allow-Headers response then things should start working again.

The current issue appears to be a redirect loop on the elastic.co website.

No, it's that Kibana has added a kbn-version header... which has broken View in Sense again.

This has been fixed
