*Cross-origin resource sharing* (*CORS*) is a web browser<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser>technology specification which defines ways for a web server to allow its resources to be accessed by a web page from a different domain.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing#cite_note-mozhacks_cors-0>Such access would otherwise be forbidden by the same origin policy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy>. CORS defines a way in which the browser and the server can interact to determine whether or not to allow the cross-origin request[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing#cite_note-1>. It's a compromise that allows greater flexibility, but is more secure than simply allowing all such requests. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing
