CORS revisit
Origin The issue stems from the same-origin policy which forces the browsers to restrict the resource access of a different origin (e.g. different domain) when: - AJAX request - Web Fonts (for cross-domain font usage in @font-face within CSS) - Images/video frames drawn to a canvas using drawImage. - Stylesheets (for CSSOM access). - others
CORS is a technique for relaxing the same-origin policy and similar techniques include JSONP, or server-side proxy which were used in the past.
