Neil Bowers 1 post(s)	I'm creating an application which uses this service, and testing it on my local machine. But when I try and use the thesaurus I get told: Origin http://localhost is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. I'm using jQuery to make an ajax call to your service. This seems a strange restriction, as I'm basically using the thesaurus API the way I imagine many people would want to ... Cheers, Neil

admin 145 post(s) Web site	Hi Neil, the server side does not generate such error, it's your browser that is blocking your code with jQuery due to cross-domain security issues. I've noticed that a new HTTP header might be generated by the server (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) to allow such cross-domain queries, but before inserting this new header I have to check if such header could cause security issues in my service. Regards

admin 145 post(s) Web site	I have updated the HTTP response with "Access-Control-Allow-Origin", but only if the HTTP request is performed using the optional parameter "callback" as described here: http://thesaurus.altervista.org/testjs
