Question: What is the easiest way to deal with CORS?

[sporto]

I am doing this manually e.g.

goweb.Map(goweb_http.MethodOptions, "/{*}", func(ctx context.Context) error {
    ctx.HttpResponseWriter().Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "http://localhost:9000")
    ctx.HttpResponseWriter().Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "GET, POST, PUT")
    ctx.HttpResponseWriter().Header().Set("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "origin, x-requested-with, accept")
    return nil
})

But I wonder if goweb should have some kind of convenience method to do this, if it already have one I haven't found.

Hmm… that's not a bad idea at all. What kind of interface would you expect?

Do you think it should go into a goweb/cores package?

It would be nice to have a simple catch all method like:

goweb.AllowCORSFor(whitelistedDomains, options)

don't really know what kind of options would you pass, I haven't done too much work with CORS yet.

Would using a MapBefore method work better here?

Sorry, closed this by mistake, when trying to comment.

Looking at the documentation MapBefore could be more flexible, or it could be some special handler you pass to Map:

goweb.Map(goweb_http.MethodOptions, "/{*}", goweb.CORSHandler(whitelistedDomains))

I quite like that - fancy doing a PR?

I would like to, if I can find the spare time to have a go I will do it. Thanks
