I think CORS request from global URI into local URL is plain illegal. 
Global site can't even be doing this, no matter what CORS say. This is 
beyond the scope of CORS. Global sites can't see local services, no 
matter what services exist in LAN, and no matter if they use CORS or not.

How can request from www.yahoo.com contain 192.168.1.10 in it? This is 
just invalid.
