WebIOPi version used?

Python version used?
=>

Distro used? (WebIOPi has only been tested on Raspbian Wheezy)
=>

Raspberry Pi board revision? (1 or 2)
=> 1

For Javascript side bugs, Browser?

Please provide any additional information below.

Need to enable CORS headers on python server side, or allow jsonp return of 
data. I am attempting to communicate to the raspberry pi's GPIO via REST but 
since my nodeJs http server is running on port 80 and the webiopi is running on 
port 8000 it causes a CORS issue. JSONP wont work as data is transmitted as 
text/plain and callback is dropped.

refused for security issue.
you should proxy requests from your front server to webiopi instead.
