HTTP API & CORS Headers, backend option to enable CORS & CORS Domain

[HallsHalls]

I want to use API from remote resource,

like that

$http.post('http://dwz.cn/create.php',parms, {
        headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'}
      }).success(function(responseData) {
        console.log(responseData);
});

and the chrome will show:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://dwz.cn/create.php. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:3000' is therefore not allowed access. 

and i found many solutions add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*" in the server conf...but i cant!

There is currently no option in grafana to set CORS headers (to enable api usage from other websites). You can add these headers if you proxy grafana with nginx for now.

@HallsHalls you can use direct access, but then you need to enable CORS headers in your installation of OpenTSDB
