I have been trying to integrate the public/committee-info.json and public/member-info.json files into a the Javascript used by the new Apache Phone Book [1]. Unfortunately it appears that Javascript cannot be used to download files except from the same origin.
Whilst it would be possible to copy the files locally as part of a cron job or as part of a CGI script, that seems a bit unnecessary/wasteful if direct access can be arranged. AFAICT, access can be enabled by using the server header Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Would it be possible to add this to the responses sent when GETting the public/* json files? Or are there good reasons for not enabling the ACAO header here? [1] http://home.apache.org/phonebook.html
