1. CORS Buildin’ web awesome with EmberJS
2. Hello There! I’m @patricksroberts. I work at @iorahealth.
3. DISCLAIMER
4. I have no clue what I’m doing here
5. We started with the monorails backed by BackboneJS
6. We began to break the monorails app into services
7. Snowflake is our authentication service/app. It is an OAuth 2.0 provider — it can provide a secure token for anything that speaks HTTP
8. But it’s hard to connect our rich client apps directly to our services - browsers cannot initiate connections to other origins - Servers cannot do it easily either
9. So I think it’s lame. - we should have a protocol that allows it
10. The idea is simple: - We do an AJAX options request for a resource - The server confirms what request types / headers are allowed - The server can limit specific origins or restrict to specific origins as well
