The same-origin policy prevents JavaScript from making requests across domain boundaries, and has spawned various hacks for making cross-domain requests.

CORS introduced a standard mechanism that can be used by all browsers for implementing cross-domain requests. The spec defines a set of headers that allow the browser and server to communicate about which requests are (and are not) allowed.

CORS specification:
http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/

Client side CORS reference (including browser compatibility matrix):
http://enable-cors.org/client.html

To enable CORS via .htaccess, add the following line:

Access-Control-Allow-Origin *

The * represents (allows) all domains and can be substituted for a space delimited list of URLs.

e.g.
Access-Control-Allow-Origin http://www.domain.com https://www.domain.com

Magento users should contact us at support@lexiconn.com to request CORS be enabled in the server configuration file for their domain (required).
