Can I add Headers in HTTP responses of the Managment API ?

[sewatech]

I'm using the Management HTTP API in a small AngularJS app. The application is access through an URL which is different from the Management one. I have three solutions to make it work :

- Access to the API via a reverse proxy (this is the one I'm using for the moment)

- Using JSONP

- Using CORS

CORS is my favorite one, but it requires to add new Headers in the response.

My question is : Is there a way to configure additional headers in the HTTP response ? Or is there a way to develop (easily) this feature ?

You should be able to register a new handler in undertow for this or "hack" the existing management handler.

Maybe brian.stansberry or ctomc have a better idea for doing it ?

At this time there is no proper extension point for adding http handlers to managment interface.

there is a jira for adding improvements in that area. Including CORS see [WFCORE-299] HTTP Management Interface Configuration - JBoss Issue Tracker for more details.

for time being you could modify the code that setups the mgmt server see code in wildfly-core/ManagementHttpServer.java at master · wildfly/wildfly-core · GitHub

Also you could send a PR with support for CORS

Thanks Tomaz. I've put online a CORS version of my app. Sure that ehugonnet will develop it very soon.

For basic CORS support you may take a look at https://github.com/ehsavoie/wildfly-core/tree/CORS

It creates a new allowed-origins attribute for http-interface in management which allows support for CORS requests.

I've just tried it with ma demo app : http://demo.sewatech.fr/wf-console-cors, it's working fine.

Any plan to integrate it to the master, for the next release of WF 9 ?
