Incorrect CORS code fragment in Spring Framework Documentation [SPR-17167]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sviatoslav Hryb opened SPR-17167 and commented

Section Web on Servlet Stack, paragraph 1.7.5. CORS Filter and section Web on Servlet Stack, paragraph 1.7.5. CORS WebFilter contain snippet of code with incorrect statements.
The incorrect statements are:

• config.addAllowedHeader(""); 
• config.addAllowedMethod("");

These statements have no sense. There may be a problem with HTML. According to Spring Framework Reference Documentation 4.3.9 I think there should be following statements:

• config.addAllowedHeader("*"); 
• config.addAllowedMethod("*");

This is encoded the right way in the 4.3.18 docs, so it's probably a side effect of some different asciidoctor declaration in 5.0.x...
