Project Documentation
It is possible to receive distributed data by entering the appropriate URL into your browser’s address bar. This is like the example used in the installation process, to prove that the installation was successful:
http://localhost:8080/vivo/api/dataRequest/hello?name=World
This will also work with Unix tools like curl and wget.
When a browser uses a JavaScript call to request data from a different origin, the call will not complete successfully unless the response complies with the CORS Standard.
Specifically, if a request is made to a Data Distribution API at a different origin than the requesting script, the response must contain an appropriate Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, or the browser will reject the response.
For now, the Data Distribution API appends a CORS-compliant header to all responses.
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
In future releases, we may add the ability to configure CORS restrictions. In that case, the default action may be to omit the CORS headers, unless enabled by the configuration.
