Kibana fails with the following error:
The geojson data is hosted at: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashishmadeti/india/master/state/india\_telengana.geojson](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashishmadeti/india/master/state/india_telengana.geojson)
I am using the field "NAME\_1" and my kibana config looks like this:
```auto
regionmap:
layers:
- name: "All the states of India"
url: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ashishmadeti/india/master/state/india_telengana.geojson"
attribution: "geohacker"
fields:
- name: "NAME_1"
description: "Name of state"
```
When I choose the Vector map **World Countries** with join field **Two letter abbreviation** , it is working fine.
Please tell me where I am going wrong.

hi @ashishmadeti,
when serving a file, make sure it is CORS-enabled:
I don't think github allows this. The solution is to download the file and serve it up yourself.
This blog post has some pointers: [https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0](https://www.elastic.co/blog/custom-region-maps-in-kibana-6-0)
thx,

I don't think CORS is the issue here. I tested the link on [www.test-cors.org](http://www.test-cors.org) ([link to test](https://www.test-cors.org/#?client_method=GET&client_credentials=false&server_url=https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2Fashishmadeti%2Findia%2Fmaster%2Fstate%2Findia_telengana.geojson&server_enable=true&server_status=200&server_credentials=false&server_tabs=remote)) and it is working fine.
Please let me know if I am wrong.

Can you inspect the 400 error and see what the error response is effectively? Options requests precede other AJAX-calls when issuing CORS-requests, and it seems the handshake is failing.

The problem does seem to be with [github.com](http://github.com)
Although it does accept CORS GET requests, it responds to OPTIONS with `400: Invalid Request`
I fixed the problem by hosting it on AWS S3 with CORS enabled.
Thanks for your help @thomasneirynck and @bhavyarm
