Security issues scare me. It seems like a really easy place to make
oneself look like an idiot.
Here is the scenario: I have a web services service available. It is
reachable over the internet (if one is inside the VPN) from a browser
line at, say, _
http://an.ibm.i/api/dayName/2019-03-15_ and returns:
dayOut "2019-03-15 is a Friday"
which is what I expect and want.
However if I use that link in an index.html on the same desktop I get
"Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading
the remote resource at
http://.../api/dayName/2019-03-15. (Reason: CORS
header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing).
OK. I get it. There is a security issue that is being solved. Good.
So I read about what to do and realize this is way out of my
wheelhouse. What have others done?
