Incoming CORS requests


Web applications are often integrated with external platforms, APIs, and services. When the external source is hosted on a different domain, CORS is used to allow requests from the external local domain to the target domain, without an intermediate proxy. We will look at techniques for allowing cross-domain requests in Windows applications and servers. When making a CORS request from the Windows application as the local domain to a different target domain, it is handled with custom code using the methods we have covered in earlier chapters.
