Description Tom Morris 2011-09-07 16:01:53 UTC 
CORS support has been requested in previous related bugzilla bugs including bug 20814, bug 28700 and bug 20298.

The MediaWiki API could be used by third-party JavaScript tools a lot easier if it could return data cross-domain to Ajax users without them having to run proxies or use Flash/crossdomain.xml hacks and other such things.

The solution is simple: for HTTP GET-based, non-authenticated API requests, add the following header to the response.

Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
