CORS Configuration

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is an HTTP header-based mechanism that allows restricted resources on a web page to be accessed from another domain outside the domain from which the resource was served.

While HTTPS and CORS can be set directly on the web service, we strongly recommend running a reverse proxy server in front and move configuration to it instead. Both mentioned variants of the Web Service infrastructure setup are considered in detail on the Security page.

To set up the CORS, use:

config.yaml

service:
    cors:
      origins: "https://api.regulaforensics.com,https://faceapi.regulaforensics.com"
      headers: "Content-Type"
      methods: "POST,PUT,GET,DELETE,PATCH,HEAD"

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
origins	string	—	Origin of requests, allowed to use API. The wildcard value (*) isn't acceptable - specify domains explicitly.
headers	string	"*"	Headers, allowed to read from the API. Comma-separated values as a single string (for example, "content-type,date").
methods	string	"POST,PUT,GET,DELETE,PATCH,HEAD,OPTIONS"	Methods, allowed to invoke on the API. Comma-separated values as a single string (for example, "GET,POST,PUT").
