How to enable CORS in Solr

If you are using Solr with Angular or something like that. The browser can be annoying about cross site scripting. To enable CORS in Solr you just have to add the code below in solr-x.x.x/server/solr-webapp/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml (x.x.x stands for the solr version). Just after the <web-app> tag.

<filter>
  <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
  <filter-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlets.CrossOriginFilter</filter-class>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>allowedOrigins</param-name>
    <param-value>*</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>allowedMethods</param-name>
    <param-value>GET,POST,OPTIONS,DELETE,PUT,HEAD</param-value>
  </init-param>
  <init-param>
    <param-name>allowedHeaders</param-name>
    <param-value>origin, content-type, accept</param-value>
  </init-param>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
  <filter-name>cross-origin</filter-name>
  <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Don’t forget to restart Solr afterwards. Enjoy!
