Example 3: what is CORS

Use CORS to allow cross-origin access. 
CORS is a part of HTTP that lets servers specify any other hosts 
from which a browser should permit loading of content.

How to block cross-origin access
To prevent cross-origin writes, 
	check an unguessable token in the request — known as a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) token. 
    prevent cross-origin reads of pages that require this token.
To prevent cross-origin reads of a resource, 
	ensure that it is not embeddable.
    prevent embedding because embedding a resource always leaks some information about it.
To prevent cross-origin embeds, 
	ensure that your resource cannot be interpreted
    Browsers may not respect the Content-Type header. 
For example, if you point a <script> tag at an HTML document, the browser will try to parse the HTML as JavaScript. When your resource is not an entry point to your site, you can also use a CSRF token to prevent embedding.
