Set up CORS on Cloud Files
If content in your Cloud Files account isn't loading on your website, it might
be due to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), a security feature designed to
prevent malicious content from loading in a web page by default. If your files
load Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) or embed fonts, CORS might prevent them from loading.
You can correct this issue by using the following steps to change the headers
in your Cloud Files with cURL (replacing XXXXX
with your endpoint and
YYYYY
with your token):
-
Set the
X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Allow-Origin
header on a
container namedmycontainer
by running the following command:$ curl -i -X POST https://storage101.lon3.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_XXXXX/mycontainer/ -H "X-Auth-Token: YYYYY" -H "X-Container-Meta-Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"
-
Check
mycontainer
by running the following command:$ curl -I -X HEAD https://storage101.lon3.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_XXXXX/mycontainer/ -H "X-Auth-Token: YYYYY"
-
Upload a file named
cup.jpg
to the container with the required headers by
running the following command:$ curl -v -H 'X-Auth-Token: YYYYY' -X PUT -T cup.jpg -H 'Content-Type: image/jpeg' -H 'Content-Length: 0' -H 'Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Access-Control-Allow-Origin' -H 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' https://storage101.lon3.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_XXXXX/mycontainer/cup.jpg
-
Check the
cup.jpg
object by running the following command:$ curl -I -X HEAD https://storage101.lon3.clouddrive.com/v1/MossoCloudFS_XXXXX/mycontainer/cup.jpg -H "X-Auth-Token: YYYYY"
The output should be similar to the following example:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 0 Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Access-Control-Allow-Origin Accept-Ranges: bytes Last-Modified: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 17:01:20 GMT Etag: d23wqfqe300b204e9800998ecf8427e X-Timestamp: 8079.74691 Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * Content-Type: image/jpeg X-Trans-Id: 2355eb60sdf323c82919-00539f22f8lon3 Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2014 17:01:45 GMT
