How to avoid Access-Control-Allow-Origin on android webview?

Question

[M. Marshall]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to get some videos of ok.ru to show on my android webview (java) but there's a problem who is annoying me:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load m.ok.ru/. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'ok.ru' is therefore not allowed access."

I need to avoid these kind of problems, because the links that I can get and show to video, are dynamical links, and they're changing constantly... How can I show ok.ru videos on my android webview? thanks in advance!

You can use CORS proxy to add required headers to server's answer. Google CORS proxy, there are many open source solutions and some ready to use cloud services.

You can hack ok's servers and delete header in code :)

how can I? lol

[anyd3v]

you can use your own server as proxy, like this myserver.com/video?path=???, so just replace videos' path to your server. you cannot avoid any headers in response, but you can avoid this situation. Perhaps i don't understand why you try video in webview instead of standart videoview

Don't use Ajax requests. Just push direct url to your video src.
