Hi everyone,

I would like to enable Cross-Origin Resource Sharing on my Nginx server. for few origins (cors requestor)/domains.

I've found this article https://www.juannicolas.eu/how-to-set-up-nginx-cors-multiple-origins that is nice, but not complete and on my browser seem really hard to read due to the layout 🤮

So I've opened a CodeBerg git repository for the good soul that want to perfect this piece of code the allow the most of use to use CORS with Nginx.

https://codeberg.org/R1ckSanchez_C137/BestOfxxx/src/branch/main/Nginx/CORS_MultiDomains.py
and

If you don't want to create an account on codeberg feel free to post your code here !

server {
    # Server

    map "$http_origin" $cors { # map in Nginx is somewhat like a switch case in a programming language.
        default ''; #Seem to set $cors to '' empty string if none of the follwing rexeg match ?
        "~^https:\/\/([\w-_\.]+\.)?example.com$" "$http_origin";
            #regex domain match
            # ~ mean I suppose the string is RegEx ?
            # Need to come with a RegEx expression that match https://anything.example.com[optional ports and Query string ?X=Y]
        "~^https:\/\/([\w-_\.]+\.)?example2.com$" "$http_origin"; #regex domain match
        }
               

    location /static {
        
        # if preflight request, we will cache it
        if ($request_method = 'OPTIONS') {
            add_header 'Access-Control-Max-Age' 1728000; #20 days
            add_header 'Content-Type' 'text/plain charset=UTF-8';
            add_header 'Content-Length' 0;
            return 204; #https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/204 }

        if ($cors != "") {
            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' "$cors" always; # <-- Variable $cors
            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Credentials' 'true' always;
            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS' always;
            add_header 'Access-Control-Allow-Headers' 'Accept, Authorization, Cache-Control, Content-Type, DNT, If-Modified-Since, Keep-Alive, Origin, User-Agent, X-Requested-With' always;}

       # configuration lines...

    }
}
