<p>The entirety of the <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content">https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content</a> directory
tree has been made cross-origin accessible. Existing restricting
apply on the actual request. That means that a request by a
browser running a web page from a host different from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.web3d.org/">https://www.web3d.org/</a> can request access to any file in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/*">https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/*</a>. The browser should grant
Cross Origin access (aka CORS) to that request. The Web3D server
will separately determine if the request will be granted.</p>
<p>For example, various X3D worlds in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/Basic">https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/Basic</a> can be displayed
in Andreas' X3DOM viewer at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html">https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html</a>,
specifically
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html?url=https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/HelloWorld.x3d">https://andreasplesch.github.io/Library/Viewer/index.html?url=https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/HelloWorld.x3d</a>
does display this example.</p>
<p>The access controls are a little looser than I would like. I plan
on tightening them up over the next week for all files not in
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/">https://www.web3d.org/x3d/content/examples/</a>. If files not in that
path need CORS support OR files in that path should not have CORS
support, then please let me know right away.<br>
