Custom Headers on a Web Script

flaria — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:25:31 GMT

We've got a project where we have a page that uses plupload (a js library for uploads), and this project is hosted on a different server than our alfresco set up. This is causing a Cross-domain issue. I've already have set up a filter for alfresco's tomcat to add the Access-Control-Allow-Origin head

That sounds like a bug to me - have you created a bug report in the issue tracker [1]?

It also seems quite strange that even a filter doesn't work. Have you tried monitoring the headers (e.g. using a debugger) as the response flows back out of Tomcat, to see where the header gets removed?

Cheers,
Peter

No, I haven't created an issue. I wasn't aware community server user could create issues. Will do that next. I've monitored the headers on the client side (using firebug in Firefox and Fiddler on IE), and the response gets to my computer without the header on the POST response only. All the other responses (while navigating inside the alfresco app and the OPTIONS response) do have the header in them.

How would I be able to debug the response flow in tomcat. A software tool? A log in tomcat?… google keywords? hehehe I'm mostly a javascript, html, .net developer. Java, tomcat and apache are not my strong suits.

Thanks for the quick reply,
Frank

The issue still exists as of 11.12.2015 (Alfresco 5.0.d Community Edition).

I'll give you suggestion, you can create a project under /tomcat/webapps/ROOT and you'll be able to read the response then you can send it to your application, I think this is two way solution. Reading the response from application under alfresco root then send it to other application outside alfresco and you can add header and everything you need.
