[Gmod-ajax] JBrowse remote files with CORS config

[Vaneet L. <van...@uc...>]

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if I wanted to load tracks from a remote URL, specifically an HTTPS address, I understand from the documentation that CORS configuration must be setup on the remote server that I'm accessing let's say the bigWig tracks from.  What exactly is involved in that setup, do you simply add the CORS configuration file to the remote server?  If you're working with apache do you simply add it do it's configuration folder?  Are there any other steps involved or is it that simple?  I'm guessing putting a wildcard (*) in the Allowed Origin field allows any server to fetch files from the remote server, but I suppose you can specifiy a specific IP address too?

I did see an example given for configuration related to an Amazon S3 bucket, that would be relevant to me also as I'm contemplating this type of setup as well to store my tracks.

Thanks,

Vaneet
