All, I am trying to get CORS enabled on Tomcat 7.0.52 for Geoserver.
I modified web.xml in conf in tomcat, as specified in http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/co
I needed to add the following to the CorsFilter to make sure that the preflight 'OPTIONS' request was allowed
cors.allowed.methods GET,POST,HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT
