Week 6 - Cordova Media, CORS

Cordova Media

When dealing with audio and video files in Cordova we cannot entirely rely on using just the HTML5 audio and video elements. iOS, in particular, has a variety of security restrictions on using media files in the browser that are not being handled by the native media app.

CORS

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing is how browsers deal with the same-origin policy and try to protect users from (XSS) Cross Site Scripting attacks and other security issues. See the OWASP Top 10 (opens new window).

There is a set of guidelines for us to follow whenever we are retrieving data from a webserver other than the one that served us our HTML file.
