CORS is a `net/http` handler implementing [Cross Origin Resource Sharing W3 specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/) in Golang.

## Getting Started

After installing Go and setting up your [GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH), create your first `.go` file. We'll call it `server.go`.

```go
package main

import (
    "net/http"

    "github.com/rs/cors"
)

func main() {
    mux := http.NewServeMux()
    mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
        w.Header().Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
        w.Write([]byte("{\"hello\": \"world\"}"))
    })

    // cors.Default() setup the middleware with default options being
    // all origins accepted with simple methods (GET, POST). See
    // documentation below for more options.
    handler := cors.Default().Handler(mux)
    http.ListenAndServe(":8080", handler)
}
```

Install `cors`:

    go get github.com/rs/cors

Then run your server:

    go run server.go

The server now runs on `localhost:8080`:

    $ curl -D - -H 'Origin: http://foo.com' http://localhost:8080/
    HTTP/1.1 200 OK
    Access-Control-Allow-Origin: foo.com
    Content-Type: application/json
    Date: Sat, 25 Oct 2014 03:43:57 GMT
    Content-Length: 18

    {"hello": "world"}

## Parameters

Parameters are passed to the middleware thru the `cors.New` method as follow:

```go
c := cors.New(cors.Options{
    AllowedOrigins: []string{"http://foo.com"},
    AllowCredentials: true,
})

// Insert the middleware
handler = c.Handler(handler)
```

* **AllowedOrigins** `[]string`: A list of origins a cross-domain request can be executed from. If the special `*` value is present in the list, all origins will be allowed. An origin may contain a wildcard (`*`) to replace 0 or more characters (i.e.: `http://*.domain.com`). Usage of wildcards implies a small performance penality. Only one wildcard can be used per origin. The default value is `*`.
* **AllowOriginFunc** `func (origin string) bool`: A custom function to validate the origin. It take the origin as argument and returns true if allowed or false otherwise. If this option is set, the content of `AllowedOrigins` is ignored
* **AllowedMethods** `[]string`: A list of methods the client is allowed to use with cross-domain requests. Default value is simple methods (`GET` and `POST`).
* **AllowedHeaders** `[]string`: A list of non simple headers the client is allowed to use with cross-domain requests.
* **ExposedHeaders** `[]string`: Indicates which headers are safe to expose to the API of a CORS API specification
* **AllowCredentials** `bool`: Indicates whether the request can include user credentials like cookies, HTTP authentication or client side SSL certificates. The default is `false`.
* **MaxAge** `int`: Indicates how long (in seconds) the results of a preflight request can be cached. The default is `0` which stands for no max age.
* **OptionsPassthrough** `bool`: Instructs preflight to let other potential next handlers to process the `OPTIONS` method. Turn this on if your application handles `OPTIONS`.
* **Debug** `bool`: Debugging flag adds additional output to debug server side CORS issues.
