Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism that allows pages, files or data to be requested from another domain outside the domain from which the resource originated. Web-browsers normally prevent Javascript to access data outside of the domain, unless that domain responds with a CORS header. If you are loading data dynamically using JQuery AJAX calls, you know what CORS is and headaches it causes.
CORSify makes any link, page or data file CORS friendly, wherever it is located.
