option to set response headers, specially for CORS

[millermedeiros]

I'm developing locally and need multiple servers running on different ports, so XHR doesn't work (different port is also blocked by same-origin policy).

I want to simply add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to the response header but other users might have different needs so I'm thinking on a new option to set the custom headers:

http-server --header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *; X-Foo: Bar; X-Lorem: Ipsum; ...'

and also and alias for Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *:

http-server --cors

If you agree I can implement this feature and ask for a pull request next week.

This sounds awesome, would love a pull request.

I'm trying this option, but doesn't seem to work for me: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24083329/angularjs-cannot-send-post-request-with-appropiate-cors-headers. Am I doing something wrong?

I seem to have the same problem as @jorgeas80. --cors seems to swallow the first word that comes right after it. I can work around the problem by using --cors foo.
