How can I support cors when using restify

You have to set the server up to set cross origin headers. Not sure if there is a built in use function or not, so I wrote my own.

server.use(
  function crossOrigin(req,res,next){
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With");
    return next();
  }
);

I found this from this tutorial. http://backbonetutorials.com/nodejs-restify-mongodb-mongoose/

The latest version of Restify provides a plugin to handle CORS.

So you can now use it like this:

server.use(restify.CORS({

  // Defaults to ['*'].
  origins: ['https://foo.com', 'http://bar.com', 'http://baz.com:8081'], 

  // Defaults to false.
  credentials: true,

  // Sets expose-headers.
  headers: ['x-foo']   

}));
