AWS CORS Configuration

In order to allow Heimdall^© to connect to an AWS S3 bucket, we need to add a Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy within the AWS Console. Some examples on how to accomplish is provide in the CORS configuration web page

The following rule configuration is sufficient, however the allowed origin attribute (AllowedOrigins) needs to reflect the domain where Heimdall is deployed.

[
    {
        "AllowedHeaders": [
            "*"
        ],
        "AllowedMethods": [
            "GET",
            "HEAD"
        ],
        "AllowedOrigins": [
            "https://heimdall.your.site.here/"
        ],
        "ExposeHeaders": [],
        "MaxAgeSeconds": 3000
    }
]
