Cross-domain AJAX calls during development: possible?

Question

I am developing applications using Angular and the client side is 100% JS. I am about to replace an old application made using ExtJS but I will not change the server-side. Only the client-side be re-coded from scratch.

I would like to work on this project from anywhere and any machine but I need to be able to perform cross-domain AJAX queries with the original server (server-side is ASP.NET MVC with IIS and I don't want to install Windows + everything on all the computers I use). Is there a way to do this easily?

Thanks for your ideas!

PS: JsonP is not a solution for me.

Answer 1

Couple of things:

1. At the end of the day you have to enable CORS in your server.
2. You can use a CORS proxy https://github.com/gr2m/CORS-Proxy for development. This proxy will actually change the request header of X-Origin which browsers even can but "won't" because of policy. So you will be able to make Cross Origin Requests.

Answer 2

If neither JSONP nor CORS are availble to you as options then you will have to take help of server side scripting.

You can create a method in your server side code and get the response from desired cross domain url and return the response to your javascript function.

Answer 3

您可以使用CORS （跨源资源共享）
