Add support of CORS protocol

[gschwind]

Description

The CORS protocol [1] is needed to support request from web browser from cross-origin fetch, i.e. fetch from different domain name. As instance a javascript from domain1.com that want to fetch a WPS from domain2.com. The protocol need to answer to some HTTP OPTIONS requests.

In my case I override the wsgi application when OPTIONS request is perfomed to allow any cross-origin request as follow:

from werkzeug.wrappers import Request, Response
from pywps.app.Service import Service

_servive = Service(processes, ['PWD/pywps.cfg'])

@Request.application
def application(http_request):
    # Allow request from any sources to avoid cross-origin issue.
    if http_request.method == 'OPTIONS':
        return Response(headers={
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "origin, content-type, x-requested-with",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Methods": "PUT, GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS"
        })

    # Default case
    r = _servive.call(http_request)
    return r
