Bug ID: 60835
Summary: Enable cross-domain Wikipedia API requests for
everyone
Product: Wikimedia
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Unprioritized

I was hoping that the response from a GET request to Wikipedia's API[1] would
include a CORS "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" header, so that it could be
accessed by a client-side script running on any domain.
I ended up using the JSONP response as a workaround, but this is less secure
than cross-origin JSON, and shouldn't really be necessary now that browsers
support CORS headers.
Would it be possible to add an "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" header to the
API's JSON responses?
