Hi,

The current mongoose interface implementation has no CORS support. Even 
worse, when trying to send a OPTIONS request the mongoose server does not 
send any response when build for ARM. Below is a proposed patch to add 
Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers and send a response when doing an 
OPTIONS request at /upload. 

Kind regards,

Simon Wamelink

The explained issue is not enough for me - I cannot understand which is
the probel that cause. As far as I understand, setting a
Access-Control-Allow-Origin header allow to run (or block) scripts
fetched from another domain as the domain of origin. This could be just
caused if the website on the device is not directly accessed, but via
some kind of proxy. Nevertheless, if this is an issue, why we should add
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, that is, allowed from any domain ?

Hi Stefano,

Thanks for you reply. I'll try to understand a bit more what I'm trying to 
do and what is not working. 

For the project I'm working on we have a website used for device 
configuration at port 80. In this website I want to add a flow to update 
the device using swupdate with mongoose running at 8181. This means sending 
a '.swu' image from `ip`:80 to `ip`:8181/upload and is already seen as a 
cross origin. Therefore a preflight request needs to be send. This gives us 
problem 1:

1) Swupdate does not respond when sending a preflight request. To fix this 
I've added the MG_EV_HTTP_REQUEST case.

Now there exists a notion in CORS of a so called simple request. For 
certain types of request a preflight request is not needed. For /upload a 
POST request with content-type multipart/form-data is done which falls 
under the simple requests. As of such the preflight request would not be 
strictly necessary. However using a preflight request means that no 
evenlisteners are register on the XMLHttpRequestUpload object which leads 
to issue 2.

2) It is not possible to get updates of the upload progress using simple 
requests.

Since an entire image can easily take over a minute to upload I would 
prefer to have a progress bar n place so users see that something is 
happening. To make matters worse when uploading an image using simple 
requests, the browser will inspect the Access-Control-Allow-Origin head of 
the response. If the origin is not in this header it will not allow 
javascript to access the response. Let me repeat that, in javascript you 
are not allowed to see the response if you are not in Allow-Origin. What 
this means is that while you get event to indicate that the request 
completed you do not why. It might have been successful, it might have been 
interrupted, it might have encoutered at 5xx or 4xxx. You just don't know. 
Or in short:

3) Reading response headers in javascript is not allowed if your origin is 
not in Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

These three problems are my rational for adding the 
Access-Control-Allow-Origin header to the /upload handler. Now it might 
seem that a '*' is a a too loose option. While it might seem like a better 
fit to add a specific origin this would need to be done on a user-by-user 
basis since the network topology used can differ. Of course a user setting 
could be added for this to make it dependent on the specific situation. The 
main goal of CORS is to protect again CSRF which is a class of 
vulnerabilities where the hosting website places to much trust in the user. 
However swupdate does has no need for explicitly trusting its users. When 
an image is signed and has correct hashes its accepted as correct, 
irregardless of its source. As such I would argue that a loose origin 
requirement would improve user experience without degrading security and 
should be considered the best option in this situation.

Hope this clarifies my problem. Please let me know how you feel about the 
issue.

Kind regards,

Simon Wamelink

Wait...this is not enough. How are you trying to reach the goal ? Which
webserver are you running on port 89 ?

I know that both nginx and lighttpd support proxy and requests send to a
specific URL of the main webserver can then redirect to SWUpdate's
webserver. What are you using in your case ?

And after reading your post: if a proxy module is running, does the
browser still a different origin for JS ? Is it not masked by the proxy
webserver (I presumed that) ?

Also several minutes - but a progress bar (under the name) is already shown.

I do not see issues.

Right - and if it is not signed, update runs in a protected environment
and these measures are not needed. I think that '*' is ok for SWUpdate.

ok - can you also clarify if there are compatibility problems, also if
used together with different browsers ?

I had to explicitly set Access-Control-Allow-Headers as well in order to be 
able to upload a file.
