Enable CORS in a Backbone client with a Flask server
Here is what worked for me.
http://flask-cors.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
$ pip install -U flask-cors
from flask import Flaskfrom flask.ext.cors import CORS, cross_originapp = Flask(__name__)cors = CORS(app)app.config['CORS_HEADERS'] = 'Content-Type'@app.route("/")@cross_origin()def helloWorld(): return "Hello, cross-origin-world!"
I got it working by adding
response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Headers'] = "Origin, X-Requested-With,Content-Type, Accept" to the after_request() method.
For development you can:
- Use Chrome extension - https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/allow-control-allow-origi/nlfbmbojpeacfghkpbjhddihlkkiljbi
- Start chrome in unsecured mode - https://stackoverflow.com/a/3177718/1104483
Or just set Access-Control-Allow-Origin to *
