For my local development system I am trying to serve front-end assets using grunt-contrib-connect. I need a cross-domain solution for using fonts in Firefox. The server runs just fine, but I cannot seem to get the headers set.
I am using version 0.7.1 of grunt-contrib-connect.
connect: {
dev: {
options: {
port: '9001',
base: 'build',
hostname: 'localhost',
keepalive: true,
middleware: function(connect, options, middlewares) {
// inject a custom middleware into the array of default middlewares
// this is likely the easiest way for other grunt plugins to
// extend the behavior of grunt-contrib-connect
middlewares.push(function(req, res, next) {
req.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
req.setHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', '*');
return next();
});
return middlewares;
}
}
}
}
Is there a problem using keepalive with middleware?
It's sad that nobody responded to that earlier.
Your code looks just like in the documentation, but you add the headers to
req
instead ofres
.The second problem is
that the docs mislead you into(fixed) adding your middleware with.push
. Your code is not called at all, because something before it is doing ares.end
and/or not callingnext()
.Your fixed code would look like this:
