Middlware to allow's your django server to respond appropriately to cross domain XHR (postMessage html5 API).

    XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_ORIGINS = '*'
    XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_METHODS = ['POST','GET','OPTIONS', 'PUT', 'DELETE']


class XsSharing(object):
    """
        This middleware allows cross-domain XHR using the html5 postMessage API.

        Access-Control-Allow-Methods: POST, GET, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE

    def process_request(self, request):

        if 'HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_METHOD' in request.META:
            response = http.HttpResponse()
            response['Access-Control-Allow-Origin']  = XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_ORIGINS 
            response['Access-Control-Allow-Methods'] = ",".join( XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_METHODS )

        return None

    def process_response(self, request, response):
        # Avoid unnecessary work
        if response.has_header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin'):
            return response

        response['Access-Control-Allow-Origin']  = XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_ORIGINS 
        response['Access-Control-Allow-Methods'] = ",".join( XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_METHODS )

        return response

@Mbrownshoes multiple origins are not allowed. I changed XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_ORIGINS into a list and add the following code to the middleware:

        if 'HTTP_ORIGIN' in request.META:
            for origin in settings.XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_ORIGINS:
                if origin == request.META['HTTP_ORIGIN']:
                    response['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = origin
                    break

It looks into the list and add the allowed-origin header only for the current origin if it is in the list.

Wonderful, thank you.

@ozen work for me , thanks !
