Use [*] for all domains'). /** Enable CORS: Cross-Origin Resource Sharing This small module allows for enabling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for a specific request. Typically, CORS is enabled for API services that you want to have useable from browser client code that is loaded from another domain. An example are the LOD and SPARQL services in ClioPatria. Because CORS is a security risc (see references), it is disabled by default. It is enabled through the setting http:cors. The value of this setting is a list of domains that are allowed to access the service. Because * is used as a wildcard match, the value [*] allows access from anywhere. Services for which CORS is relevant must call cors_enable/0 as part of the HTTP response, as shown below. Note that cors_enable/0 is a no-op if the setting http:cors is set to the empty list ([]). == my_handler(Request) :- ...., cors_enable, reply_json(Response, []). == If a site uses a _Preflight_ =OPTIONS= request to find the server's capabilities and access politics, cors_enable/2 can be used to formulate an appropriate reply. For example: == my_handler(Request) :- option(method(options), Request), !, cors_enable(Request, [ methods([get,post,delete]) ]), format('~n'). % 200 with empty body == @see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting for understanding Cross-site scripting. @see http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/ for understanding CORS */ %% cors_enable is det. % % Emit the HTTP header =|Access-Control-Allow-Origin|= using % domains from the setting http:cors.
