wabac.js CORS Proxy

This provides a simple CORS proxy, which is designed to run as a Cloudflare Worker.

This system is compatible with wabac.js-based tools, including ArchiveWeb.page and ReplayWeb.page

Custom Headers and Status

Redirect

The proxy is designed to be usable with regular browser fetch(). Since fetch does not handle redirect requests, the proxy wraps any 3xx response and returns a 200 response with the headers set:

Response headers:

• x-redirect-status - redirect status code
• x-redirect-statusText - redirect status text
• x-orig-location - value of Location header

Cookies / Referer

The proxy also handles custom cookie headers, in case they are not sent/filtered out, such as in service workers

Request header:

• x-proxy-cookie - passed as Cookie header to upstream server.
• x-profy-referer - passed as Referer header to upstream server. The Origin header is also updated based on value of referer, if it exists.

Response header:

• x-proxy-set-cookie - returned from upstream Set-Cookie header in case it gets filtered out.

Usage

Note: CloudFlare wrangler cli tool is required. To login, use wrangler login to login to your Cloudflare Account.

1. Set the CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS to a list of allowed urls, or set to null to allow any origin.

2. Deploy with wrangler publish
