1.	What does CORS stand for and what issue does it address?
Answer» CORS is Cross-Origin Resource Sharing and it allows you to make requests from one website to another website. But for SECURITY reasons, a BROWSER is not allowed to load requests to other domains when those requests are generated by SCRIPTS. CORS addresses this issue by supplying a header that will DEFINE which domains can make XMLHttpRequests.
