Description

Hi Samuel,

I would like to use an eel-based App from another web-based system and have that system call eel on localhost. Therefore to allow Cross-Origin Requests i would need my eel-based app add the needed headers. But since the bottle webserver is wrapped inside eel I don't find any obvious way to add the headers. When working directly with bottle you would be able to set them e.g. through: response.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = 'http://localhost:8000/'

Is there a way to hand this through eel to the webserver?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how Eel initializes the Bottle web server and determine a method to inject custom headers, such as through middleware or by modifying the Bottle app instance.
