# Slightly tighter CORS config for nginx
#
# A modification of https://gist.github.com/1064640/ to include a white-list of URLs
#
# Despite the W3C guidance suggesting that a list of origins can be passed as part of
# Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers, several browsers (well, at least Firefox) 
# don't seem to play nicely with this.
#
# To avoid the use of 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *', use a simple-ish whitelisting 
# method to control access instead.
#
# NB: This relies on the use of the 'Origin' HTTP Header.
