Allow Multiple Access Control Requests for Rails
If you have problem with sending XHR requests from different domains, it will be problematic to get content, because
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://different.domain.local:3000/visits. Origin http://localhost:3000 is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
The solution is to setup response headers: Access-Control-Request-Method, Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
headers['Access-Control-Request-Method'] = '*'
Example for rails:
#app/application_controller.rb
after_action :set_access_control_headers
def set_access_control_headers
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
headers['Access-Control-Request-Method'] = '*'
end
You can look into sources of the sample Sinatra application in GitHub. Demo live in Heroku. Or use these samples.
