One of the conclusions of http://www.veracode.com/blog/2013/03/security-headers-on-the-top-1000000-websites-march-2013-report/(which is worth reading) is that developers often misuse the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header. At a glance, about 0.5% of the sites that use the header send invalid values, mostly wildcarded like 'http://*.domain.com'. Is there value in paving this cowpath? -- Mike West <mkwst@google.com>, Developer Advocate Google Germany GmbH, Dienerstrasse 12, 80331 München, Germany Google+: https://mkw.st/+, Twitter: @mikewest, Cell: +49 162 10 255 91
