<title>Cross-origin resource sharing</title>
<para>Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is a mechanism to allow code running in a browser
(JavaScript for example) to make requests to a domain other then the one from where it
originated. OpenStack Object Storage supports CORS requests to containers and objects within
the containers using metadata held on the container.</para>
<para>In addition to the metadata on containers, you can use the
<option>cors_allow_origin</option> option in the
<filename>proxy-server.conf</filename> file to set a list of hosts that
are included with any CORS request by default.</para>
