This is the CORS proxy of the Codebird library.

Codebird versions

• JavaScript: https://github.com/jublonet/codebird-js
• PHP: https://github.com/jublonet/codebird-php

Requirements

• For use with codebird-js 2.4.1 or higher
• PHP 5.3.0 or higher
• CURL extension
• OpenSSL extension
• For IIS, URL Rewrite is required
  • Uploading media requires the user account of your IIS Application Pool to have NTFS write permissions to the %TEMP% folder.

Set-up

To install the Codebird CORS proxy on your server:

1. Upload the folder to your webspace.
2. Rename the folder to “codebird-cors-proxy”.
3. In your Javascript, tell codebird-js to use the new proxy server:

   cb.setProxy("https://example.com/codebird-cors-proxy/");

Notes

• Never run your proxy on an unencrypted server connection ("http://"). Using HTTPS is essential for your user’s security and privacy.
