[jetty-dev] CrossOriginFilter-servlet

Hi,

 

I am using jetty in conjunction with the geoserver. By testing out the CrossOriginFilter and looking at the code at https://github.com/eclipse/jetty.project/blob/master/jetty-servlets/src/main/java/org/eclipse/jetty/servlets/CrossOriginFilter.java it seems to me, that there is still a bug, when all origins are allowed (*): The jetty-filter returns the origin (not the *) in line 398, but does not set the Vary-Option in line 401. So the browser caches the origin response and if I got two different sites requesting on the same jetty-Server, the second request will not be managed by the browser, because the cached allowed-origin does not match the current origin (tested with current chrome and firefox). Looking at the tomcat-servlet, I noticed, that they return the * if all origins are allowed and not the specific origin (https://github.com/apache/tomcat/blob/trunk/java/org/apache/catalina/filters/CorsFilter.java, line 413). So the code could  be (instead of lines 398-401):

 

if (anyOriginAllowed) {

response.setHeader(ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_ORIGIN_HEADER, "* ");

}

else {

response.setHeader(ACCESS_CONTROL_ALLOW_ORIGIN_HEADER, origin);

//W3C CORS spec http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/#resource-implementation

response.addHeader("Vary", ORIGIN_HEADER);

}

 

Can you please fix that or is there a specific reason, that jetty always returns the origin. If there is, then it also always hast o return the vary header and not only if not all origins are alowed.

 

Regards,

Hendrik
