nginx.conf

## nginx.conf
#
# CORS header support
#
# One way to use this is by placing it into a file called "cors_support"
# under your Nginx configuration directory and placing the following
# statement inside your **location** block(s):
#
#   include cors_support;
#
# As of Nginx 1.7.5, add_header supports an "always" parameter which
# allows CORS to work if the backend returns 4xx or 5xx status code.
#
# For more information on CORS, please see: http://enable-cors.org/
