Hi All

I am working on implementing a REST api using dancer to be called from a website using ExtJs to get and send data as JSON.
As the dancer app will be on a different port (and possibly on a different machine) I am trying to setup CORS.
My initial attempt involved setting up shares in my Controller for each resource and method like this :-

package Controller::API;
use Dancer qw/ :syntax /;
use Dancer::Plugin::CORS;
.....
foreach my $resource (@resources) {
    get "/$resource" => sub {
         ........
    };
    get "/$resource/*" => sub {
        ........
    };
    # repeat for each method
    ........
    share "/$resource" =>
        origin => [ 'http://somewhere:port', ........ ],
       methods => [ qw/GET PUT POST DELETE OPTIONS/],
       credentials => 1;
   
    share "/$resource/*" =>
        origin => [ 'http://somewhere:port', ........ ],
       methods => [ qw/GET PUT POST DELETE OPTIONS/],
       credentials => 1;
}

Which worked fine for get but when the extjs app tried a post or put to the api, it send OPTIONS first and I can't work out how to respond appropriately from the api to get it to send a post or put.

Then I tried to setup CORS via Plack middleware but can't get that to work either.
here is what I tried :-
in environments/development.yml
pack_middlewares:
    CrossOrigin:

Doing this I see 'add middleware CrossOrigin' in the logs but CORS doesn't work (even on Get).

Then I tried in my Controller:-
set plack_middlewares => [
    [ CrossOrigin => [ origins => '*', methods => ['GET', 'POST', 'PUT', 'OPTIONS','DELETE']]]
];

Still no joy.

Anyone got any ideas ?

Cheers
Tony

BTW: I would have prefered to use Dancer2 but it appears that there is no CORS plugin for Dancer2
