django-cors

A Django app for handling Cross-Origin Resource Sharing.

Install by cloning the repo and running

sudo python setup.py install

Then add the app to the installed apps in your settings file:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    # ...
    'cors',
    # ...
)

To allow requests to be made from the browser from any domain, use AllowOriginMiddleware:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    # ...
    'cors.middleware.AllowOriginMiddleware',
    # ...
)

Customisation

In some cases you may need to override the list of allowed Headers. By specifying the setting CORS_ALLOW_HEADERS you can set the list. By default the setting is Content-Type, Authorization.

If you specify this setting, the setting is NOT additive but a replacement.

i.e.:

CORS_ALLOW_HEADERS = 'Authorization'

Will only return the header Authorization
