CORS-server

It's simple nodejs server, which main functionality is proxying any request and adding CORS-headers to the reponse. To run server, just tun the following command in your console:

npm i && node index.js

Your server should start and start listening port 3000.

So, you can make a request it:

curl -i http://localhost:3000/https://api.forismatic.com/api/1.0/\?method\=getQuote\&format\=json\&lang\=en

If you wish you can change the port by setting up PORT env-variable:

PORT=5000 node index.js

Using Docker

There is one more option to run the cors-server is docker image, based on nginx:alpine. Yes, no nodejs is required! Just build an image using the command bellow:

docker build -t nginx-cors:latest .

Or pull it from docker-hub:

docker pull romic/nginx-cors:latest

Now you can run it with the following command:

docker run -dp 8080:80 --name nginx-cors nginx-cors:latest
# Or if you pull an image from the hub
docker run -dp 8080:80 --name nginx-cors romic/nginx-cors:latest

Using now.sh

By using now.sh-service you can create a free public available cors-server. Just create a free account, install cli-utility and run an instance of server using one simple command:

now

You'll see something like this in your console:

> Deploying ~/code/cors-server under [username]
> Using project cors
> Synced 5 files (3.43KB) [579ms]
> https://cors-hdakqm3s0.now.sh [v2] [906ms]
> Ready! Deployed to https://cors.[username].now.sh [in clipboard] [10s]

Now you may use link in the last row as an address of you cors-service.
