Well, HSTS essentially removes communication options, while the intent of CORS is to add communication options. I don't think you can compare them like that. HSTS is more like a redirect and misconfiguration may result in denial of service, while CORS misconfiguration can have more far-reaching consequences like exposing user information. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjo...@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de D-10243 Berlin · PGP Pub.
