[Feature Request] Cross Origin support similar to flask-cors

[kamaravichow]

Desired Behavior
Cross-Origin Request management for web apps as browsers block them if they are hosted on a different domain

Alternatives
We could manually add the headers

[sansyrox]

Thanks for the feature request @kamaravichow .

Do you happen to know the exact headers required?

[kamaravichow]

'Access-Control-Request-Method'
'Access-Control-Request-Headers'
'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods'
'Access-Control-Allow-Headers'
'Access-Control-Expose-Headers'
'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials'
'Access-Control-Max-Age'

These are a few important ones that I use in my APIs

[sansyrox]

@kamaravichow , these are request headers right?

[kamaravichow]

And the response headers should contain this particular header to allow all the origins

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

@sansyrox, I can pick this up. If it's okay.
have a question regarding approach.

Flask uses flask-cors lib.

Which will be preferable creating a new lib(like flask-cors) or extending in same code-base?

[sansyrox]

Hey @suhailmalik07 👋

Thank you. Since almost every developer uses cors, I think having it in our codebase makes sense.

[suhailmalik07]

Thanks for clarifying, I'm picking this up then.

[sansyrox]

@suhailmalik07 , do let me know if you require any help from my end. :D

[suhailmalik07]

Hey @sansyrox, Thanks for letting me know. Sorry, but I'm currently stuck with something else. If anyone else wants to pick this up, that will be okay. It will take me some time.

Hey @sansyrox, may I take this one? I am new to open source contribution but have coded in Python for a while. Rust, not so much. I want to discuss the approach for this. Where should I do that?

[sansyrox]

Hi @Fazatholomew 👋

Apologies. This missed my eye. This issue has been addressed already. :(

However, feel free to pickup another issue. Let me know if you need any help 😄
