983025 - Provide a way to bypass cross-origin request restrictions

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: General, enhancement, P3)

Description

[:Mook]

When developing, it can be useful have a way of bypassing CORS restrictions; in my case, developing locally (served off localhost) interacting with a REST API that's difficult to modify.

It's perfectly fine for this to be something like a command-line option that requires jumping through hoops, as long as those hoops can be scripted.

It is equivalent to Chrome's --disable-web-security.  That happens to also show a notification bar on startup; doesn't really matter, it's not like I'm using that browser for real browsing.

(I tried hacking up an extension, but while I can clobber HTTP headers, I couldn't figure out how to do that with web sockets.  Maybe I need to look harder?)
