wtf is even the point of cors.
If I dont want resources from another origin I will simply not request them? why do I need a gatekeeper?
Digital Mark λ ☕️ 8647mdhughes@appdot.netJul 2, 2026, 6:11 AM@cinebox CORS is profoundly stupid. My trick is for page to call its own server which curls the URL it needs from a 3rd-party server. This is fine! Doing it in the page is not! It's no safer.
Wrenpsyolus@animal.businessJul 2, 2026, 6:18 AM@cinebox Same-origin policy protects users from malicious origins that would attempt to access data from other origins. CORS exists for cases where one origin wants to explicitly allow it for another.
