*Cross-origin resource sharing* (*CORS*) is a web
browser<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser>technology
specification which defines ways for a web server to allow its
resources to be accessed by a web page from a different
domain.[1]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing#cite_note-mozhacks_cors-0>Such
access would otherwise be forbidden by the same
origin policy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy>. CORS
defines a way in which the browser and the server can interact to determine
whether or not to allow the cross-origin
request[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-Origin_Resource_Sharing#cite_note-1>.
It's a compromise that allows greater flexibility, but is more secure than
simply allowing all such requests.
