Re: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin'

Yes they are two different things.

   Thing 1: I have an SQLRPGLE service program that provides json data
   to an application server that I set up using IWS.  If I type the url
   for that web service into most any browser I get a screen like this:

   dayOut 	"2019-03-06 is a Wednesday"
   httpStatus 	0
   httpHeaders 	
   0 	"Valid day-name was found."

   That is Thing 1 and works just fine.  Very happy with it.

   Thing 2: Now we need to consume the data.  Just telling the web
   people "Here's the data!" works but puts everything out of our
   control.  So I want a web server, on the i, serving up that data in
   the way I want it served up.  That's where my latest round of
   troubles start.   Can I put the web page on the same server as
   provides the web services?  I have no idea, i don't even want to
   know.  I can consume that data off my PC's browser with no problem
   but from a server at the same root url?  Things go all wobbly, which
   I suspect is a reflection upon my ignorance of the processes involved.
