Bypassing “cross-origin request”-errors on testing a web service locally

Developing a website with a REST-backend and XHR-requests to retrieve data from the underlying database requires a lot of early-on local testing. However, in this case the resource is coming from a different origin and modern web browsers block them (CORS error). Is there any way to bypass this behaviour in the development stage?

Blocking a website from a computer

Internet is a very useful and powerful tool. Nowadays children learn how to use technology at a very early age, and it is necessary for adults to control what websites minors access and limit access to others or even restrict it for their own security.

E-Mail Filters

Many people get huge amounts of mail every day. It can be painful to sort, categorize and handle all those mails manually. Furthermore, it costs a lot of valuable time that you could spend elsewhere. However, there is an automatic approach that can save you a lot of this time: E-Mail Filtering <strong>Challenge:</strong> <ul><li>Choose an E-Mail client (either desktop client or web mail)</li> <li><strong>Create the following filters:</strong></li><li>a filter that automatically labels mails from tuwien.ac.at with "TU" or moves them to a folder called "TU"</li><li>a filter that sends unwanted mails (containing words of your choice) to the spam folder</li><li>a filter that marks e-mails containing the words "Knowledge Management" as important (e.g. by flagging or starring)</li></ul>
