I'm stacked for second day... I'm trying to fetch some json from outside domain, but I broke with CORS. I'm almost sure how to use JSONP in AngularJS resource, that problem is with my node.js server which doesn't send

Origin: http://api.bob.com

So, I read zillion of CORS google answers, but all said the almost the same:

var allowCrossDomain = function(req, res, next) {
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
  res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "X-Requested-With");
  next();
};

(...)

app.use(allowCrossDomain);

But... There's no anything similiar to app in scripts\web-script.js which I can use as app.

The web-script.js below (it is just from package)

#!/usr/bin/env node

var util = require('util'),
    http = require('http'),
    fs = require('fs'),
    url = require('url'),

function main(argv) {
  new HttpServer({
    'GET': createServlet(StaticServlet),
    'HEAD': createServlet(StaticServlet)
  }).start(Number(argv[2]) || DEFAULT_PORT);

Please, help me StackOverflow, you are my last hope.

really not clear what you are trying to do. Get data from another domain? Won't $http or ($resource) get it using angular? –  charlietfl 23 hours ago
 
Please look here stackoverflow.com/questions/20025711/… - there is my angular code. Of course insted of file.json i use example.com/file.json –  SledgehammerPL 22 hours ago
 
that post is very confusing....does remote domain serve jsonp or not? –  charlietfl 22 hours ago
 
i'm not sure here's an example: facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=json&id=459908330791 - but when i change method into GET => No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'localhost:8000'; is therefore not allowed access. –  SledgehammerPL 22 hours ago
 
right off the bat that feed url isn't valid anymore...look at the response. Surely they have an API you can acces for what you want that serves jsonp or is CORS enabled –  charlietfl 22 hours ago

You have something like: https://github.com/angular/angular-seed/blob/master/scripts/web-server.js

So you have to add ALLOW CORS (look below I added 2 lines) to response headers:

StaticServlet.prototype.sendFile_ = function(req, res, path) {
  var self = this;
  var file = fs.createReadStream(path);
  res.writeHead(200, {
    'Content-Type': StaticServlet.
      MimeMap[path.split('.').pop()] || 'text/plain',
    // ALLOW CORS - line 1 !!!
    'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' : '*',
    // ALLOW CORS - line 2 !!!
    'Access-Control-Allow-Headers': 'X-Requested-With'
  });
  if (req.method === 'HEAD') {
    res.end();
  } else {
    file.on('data', res.write.bind(res));
    file.on('close', function() {
      res.end();
    });
    file.on('error', function(error) {
      self.sendError_(req, res, error);
    });
  }
};

Maybe you have other function with jsonp, so add to res.writeHead(200, CORS headers too.
