CakePHP 2 CORS

Lib\Routing\Filter\ApiCorsDispatcher.php

<?php

App::uses('DispatcherFilter', 'Routing');

/**
 * Api Cors Dispatcher
 */
class ApiCorsDispatcher extends DispatcherFilter {

	public $priority = 1;

	public function beforeDispatch(CakeEvent $event) {
		$request	 = $event->data['request'];
		$response	 = $event->data['response'];
		$origin		 = filter_has_var(INPUT_SERVER, 'HTTP_ORIGIN') ? filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'HTTP_ORIGIN') : '*';
		$response->header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', $origin);
		$response->header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS');
		if (filter_has_var(INPUT_SERVER, 'HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS')) {
			$response->header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'HTTP_ACCESS_CONTROL_REQUEST_HEADERS'));
		}
		if ($request->is('OPTIONS')) {
			$event->stopPropagation();
			return $response;
		}
	}

}

bootstrap.php:

Configure::write('Dispatcher.filters', array(
'ApiCorsDispatcher',
));

@voronY: The whole topic might be a bit out of date but I am struggling with CORS request in my CakePHP 2.8 installation. I find the cookbook not very helpful in this matter. Can you help my understanding how I need to use the dispatcher if I want to make a controller action able of accepting CORS requests?

Good job @voronoy

Great work!
