Knowing the structure of an http request and CORS is a check for a common technical vocabulary, but I would strike a blank when asked directly. It feels a bit a like, “I had to learn it” even though it’s just googleable labels for simple topics. I heard of interviewees being dropped for not knowing the difference between 402 and 401.

I think blanking is actually OK. From there you could probably explain what you know about it, how it was set in your project, or any peripheral story that comes to mind at that time.

I see it as a different angle to get more information.
