Enable CORS
Closed this issue · 6 comments
This has already been a solved issue in the past (#423), but it seems that the Acces-Control-Allow-Origin header has been removed since.
Would it be possible to re-enable it? I would like to use the API for some auto-completion forms in a web application I'm developing and I'd hate to proxy it through my server just to get around the CORS restrictions.
@jbaiter Could you please specify about which endpoint you are talking? As far as I can see, it works for the endpoints in production: https://lobid.org/resource and http://lobid.org/subject and http://lobid.org/organisation.
It also seems to work for http://beta.lobid.org/organisations. The only one where it doesn't work is the lobid-resources API 2.0 (in beta) with the hbz union catalogue data, e.g. http://lobid.org/resources/HT014681992. Are you already using this endpoint?
I'm using the /subject endpoint, here are the headers that I get from my shell with httpie:
GET /subject?q=Proserpina&format=full&type=http://d-nb.info/standards/elementset/gnd%23Person HTTP/1.1
Connection: keep-alive
Host: lobid.org
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept: */*
User-Agent: HTTPie/0.9.2
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2016 09:29:52 GMT
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Encoding: gzip
Content-Length: 3416
Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
Connection: Keep-Alive
I also don't see the header on any of the endpoints you linked to :-/
#423 is about CORS support for the context document, which is required for JSON-LD with linked contexts in the playground. Our current production endpoints never had CORS support, but they support JSONP callbacks.
For your query: http://lobid.org/subject?q=Proserpina&format=full&type=http://d-nb.info/standards/elementset/gnd%23Person&callback=jsonp

Ouch, sorry, I complete skipped over that part! Thanks for the clarification :-)
i guess we can close this then. Closing.
