Opengrep Emerges as Open Source Alternative Amid Semgrep Licensing Controversy
Opengrep forks Semgrep to preserve open source SAST in response to controversial licensing changes.
github.com/Rob--W/cors-anywhere
CORS Anywhere is a NodeJS proxy which adds CORS headers to the proxied request.
The url to proxy is literally taken from the path, validated and proxied. The protocol part of the proxied URI is optional, and defaults to "http". If port 443 is specified, the protocol defaults to "https".
This package does not put any restrictions on the http methods or headers, except for cookies. Requesting user credentials is disallowed. The app can be configured to require a header for proxying a request, for example to avoid a direct visit from the browser.
The package also includes a Procfile, to run the app on Heroku. More information about Heroku can be found at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs.
// Heroku defines the environment variable PORT, and requires the binding address to be 0.0.0.0
var host = process.env.PORT ? '0.0.0.0' : '127.0.0.1';
var port = process.env.PORT || 8080;
var cors_proxy = require('cors-anywhere');
cors_proxy.createServer({
requireHeader: ['origin', 'x-requested-with'],
removeHeaders: ['cookie', 'cookie2']
}).listen(port, host, function() {
console.log('Running CORS Anywhere on ' + host + ':' + port);
});
Request examples:

- Google.com with CORS headershttp://localhost:8080/google.com
- Same as previous.http://localhost:8080/google.com:443
- Proxies https://google.com/
http://localhost:8080/

To use the API, just prefix the URL with the API URL. Take a look at demo.html for an example. A concise summary of the documentation is provided at lib/help.txt.
If you want to automatically enable cross-domain requests when needed, use the following snippet:
(function() {
var cors_api_host = 'cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com';
var cors_api_url = (window.location.protocol === 'http:' ? 'http://' : 'https://') + cors_api_host + '/';
var slice = [].slice;
var origin = window.location.protocol + '//' + window.location.host;
var open = XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open;
XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open = function() {
var args = slice.call(arguments);
var targetOrigin = /^https?:\/\/([^\/]+)/i.exec(args[1]);
if (targetOrigin && targetOrigin[0].toLowerCase() !== origin &&
targetOrigin[1] !== cors_api_host) {
args[1] = cors_api_url + args[1];
}
return open.apply(this, args);
};
})();
If you're using jQuery, you can also use the following code instead of the previous one:
jQuery.ajaxPrefilter(function(options) {
if (options.crossDomain && jQuery.support.cors) {
options.url = (window.location.protocol === 'http:' ? 'http:' : 'https:') +
'//cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/' + options.url;
}
});
The module exports two properties: getHandler
and createServer
.
getHandler(options)
returns a handler which implements the routing logic.
This handler is used by http-proxy.createServer(options)
creates a server with the default handler.The following options are recognized by both methods:
requireHeader
- If set, the request must include this header or the API will refuse to proxy.['Origin', 'X-Requested-With']
.removeHeaders
- Exclude certain headers from being included in the request.["cookie"]
createServer
recognizes the following option as well:
httpProxyOptions
- Options for http-proxy. The documentation for these options can be found here.Copyright (C) 2013 Rob Wu gwnRob@gmail.com
