Before you start *assuming* that some individual is doing something underhanded or manipulative, perhaps you should look up what "CORS" is all about. As a result of increases in browser security requirements, it is no longer permitted for scripts running on different hosts (or a local file such as TiddlyWiki) to programmatically access content from a different origin (e.g., a remote server). CORS, which stands for "Cross-Origin Resource Sharing", is a W3.org *public standard* that has been adopted by all the major web browsers, and enables web sites to provide better control over scripted access to their content, once it is configured on the server. You should note that this is NOT something that was added to the TWCore, nor is it part of any plugin (or hosted TiddlyWiki document). The only change to the TWCore was to add some explanatory text (i.e, the "...and is CORS enabled" part) to the error condition that is returned by the browser in order to protect your system from potential security risks when CORS is not configured on the remote server. http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/ http://enable-cors.org/ -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
