CORS "issue" could be solved by using JSONP

Open bitmorse opened this issue 10 years ago • 0 comments

Would be nice to not have to add CORS headers to the API server or end up using a proxy. To solve this, many APIs support JSONP by letting the user add ?callback=whatever to the URL. This wraps the JSON in whatever() and cors headers need not to be enabled on the server side.

Would it be possible to support this in the webservice search modules?
