Access-Control-Allow-Origin Multiple Origin Domains?


Is there a way to allow multiple cross-domains using the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header?



I'm aware of the *, but it is too open. I really want to allow just a couple domains.



As an example, something like this:




Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://domain1.com, http://domain2.com



I have tried the above code but it doesn't seem to work in Firefox.



Is it possible to specify multiple domains or am I stuck with just one?

  1. Sounds like the recommended way to do it is to have your server read the Origin header from the client, compare that to the list of domains you'd like to allow, and if it matches, echo the value of the Origin header back to the client as the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header in the response.

  2. I had the same problem with woff-fonts, multiple subdomains had to have acces. To allow subdomains I added something lige this to my httpd.conf:

    SetEnvIf Origin "^(.*\.example\.com)$" ORIGIN_SUB_DOMAIN=$1
    <FilesMatch "\.woff$">
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "%{ORIGIN_SUB_DOMAIN}e" env=ORIGIN_SUB_DOMAIN
    </FilesMatch>


    For multiple domains you could just change the regex in SetEnvIf

  3. Another solution I'm using in PHP:

    $http_origin = $_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'];

    if ($http_origin == "http://www.domain1.com" || $http_origin == "http://www.domain2.com" || $http_origin == "http://www.domain3.info")
    {
    header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
    }

  4. There is one disadvantage you should be aware of: As soon as you out-source files to a CDN (or any other server which doesn't allow scripting) or if your files are cached on a proxy, altering response based on 'Origin' request header will not work.

  5. Delimit them with a pipe character rather than a comma, as in this example:

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
