Research direction

Find the Ktor server CORS plugin configuration and the existing server tests for OPTIONS requests. Set maxAgeInSeconds to 86400, then add a test that checks the Access-Control-Max-Age response header; the issue is done when the test passes and the header is present.

Description

enhancement
Summary

Currently, Ktor server responds to preflight OPTIONS requests without Access-Control-Max-Age. Add preflight caching to reduce unnecessary round-trip latency for web/desktop clients.

Acceptance Criteria
  • Configure maxAgeInSeconds = 86400 (24 hours) in Ktor CORS plugin.
  • Add test asserting Access-Control-Max-Age header on OPTIONS requests.
