a proxy server to bypass CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) enabled servers
Proxy your requests just by prefixing your request URL with: https://non-cors.herokuapp.com/ with all the headers and payload as it is.
Browsers enforce same origin policy (CORS) to protect the users from XSS (Cross Site Scripting) among several other types of attacks.
In short, browsers blocks all the requests which are not originated from the same origin as that of the web-page.
But this feature banes the developer from accessing data from different servers. Luckily, there's a way out of this, and that's what bypass-cors uses.
Whenever we make a cross origin request, browsers set a request header called Origin, to give the information about the requester, and uses the CORS policy to block the non-origin requests.
And checks the Response Header for Access-Control header values according to CORS policy.
Hence, if we can change the response headers in our favor than we can easily tricks the browser, and this is what the bypass-cors proxy server does.
It acts as a middleware and make request to the destined server, obtain response, and adds/sets some relevant headers with the response and sends it back to you, tricking the browser.
Proxy your requests just by prefixing your request URL with: https://non-cors.herokuapp.com/ with all the headers and payload as it is.
bypass-cors supports all types of http.Method requests.
