CORS blocks connection to comby.live sometimes

[mgallagher]

Hello! While reading through the website and I noticed that the linked comby.live examples didn't seem to be working. Looks like it could be related to CORS?

Hi! Everything is still working this side on Chrome v81.0.4044.138. The server should be taking care of CORS things but looks like for your browser/version more things are expected. Could you share your OS, browser name, and browser version please?

My bad, of course I assumed this was happening everywhere 😆 Sure enough, it works fine on my Mac on both FF and Chrome.

It appears this only happens on my Windows 10 (version 1909) machine at work, which I know is behind some restrictive firewalls. Tested this on FF v76.0.1 and Chrome v81.0.4044.138. Here's the error on Chrome:

I'd be curious if others run into this eventually, but for now you could probably close this issue unless there's something you think you might work. I read in another issue that you've been wanting to compile this to JS, so perhaps this issue will go away once that happens 😀

For the ERR_CONNECTION_RESET I'm not sure honestly :) But the CORS message is more suspect, not sure why that's happening :-/ I'll have a peek to see if there's anything I can do about that.

compile this to JS

Soon 🤞
