It can be used to access resources from third party websites when it's not possible to enable CORS on target website i.e. when you don't own that website. **Note**: Please check whether this solution is indeed necessary by having a look on [how you can enable CORS on your server](http://enable-cors.org/server.html). Overview -------- [](#overview) ### Features [](#features) - Acts as a reverse proxy: request headers and data are propagated from proxy to server. Similarly, response headers and data are propagated from proxy to client. - Provides support for all methods GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. - Provides also support for HTTPS. - Requests can be filtered against a list of trusted domains or URLs. - External configuration (Work in progress) - Error handling i.e. when server is not available (Work in progress) - Debugging mode (Work in progress) ### Requirements [](#requirements) PHP Cors Proxy works with PHP 5.3+ or above. ### Author [](#author) - [Iacovos Constantinou](https://github.com/softius) - - - See also the list of [contributors](../../contributors) which participated in this project. ### License [](#license) PHP CORS Proxy is licensed under GPL-3.0. See `LICENCE.txt` file for further details. Installation ------------ [](#installation) **Using composer** ``` composer require softius/cors-proxy ``` **Manual installation** The proxy is indentionally limited to a single file. All you have to do is to place `proxy.php` under the public folder of your application. ### Configuration [](#configuration) For security reasons don't forget to define all the trusted domains / URLs into top section of `proxy.php` file: ``` $valid_requests = array( 'http://www.domainA.com/', 'http://www.domainB.com/path-to-services/service-a' ); ``` **Note**: There is currently ongoing work to allow configuration outside the `proxy.php` Usage ----- [](#usage) It is possible to initiate a cross domain request either by providing the `X-Proxy-URL` header or by passing a special `GET` parameter. The former method is strongly suggested since it doesn't modify the request query. Also, the request looks more clear and easier to understand. ### Using headers [](#using-headers) It is possible to specify the target URL by using the `X-Proxy-URL` header, which might be easier to set with your JavaScript library. For example, if you wanted to automatically use the proxy for external URL targets, for GET and POST requests: ``` $.ajaxPrefilter(function(options, originalOptions, jqXHR) { if (options.url.match(/^https?:/)) { options.headers['X-Proxy-URL'] = options.url; options.url = '/proxy.php'; } }); ``` The following example uses `curl` ``` curl -v -H "X-Proxy-URL: http://cross-domain.com" http://yourdomain.com/proxy.php ``` ### Using query [](#using-query) In order to make a cross domain request, just make a request to and specify the target URL by using the `csurl` (GET) parameter. Obviously, you can add more parameters according to your needs; note that the rest of the parameters will be used in the cross domain request. For instance, if you are using jQuery: ``` $('#target').load( 'http://www.yourdomain.com/proxy.php', { csurl: 'http://www.cross-domain.com/', param1: value1, param2: value2 } ); ``` The following example uses `curl` ``` curl -v "http://yourdomain.com/proxy.php?csurl=http://www.cross-domain.com/¶m1=value1¶m2=value2" ``` ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 71% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity38 Limited adoption so far Community26 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity39 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 73% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
