+#  4.11. cors-allowed-origin
+#  ==========================
+#
+#  Specifies:
+#
+#      A trusted website which can access Privoxy's CGI pages through
+#      JavaScript.
+#
+#  Type of value:
+#
+#      URL
+#
+#  Default value:
+#
+#      Unset
+#
+#  Effect if unset:
+#
+#      No external sites get access via cross-origin resource
+#      sharing.
+#
+#  Notes:
+#
+#      Modern browsers by default prevent cross-origin requests made
+#      via JavaScript to Privoxy's CGI interface even if Privoxy
+#      would trust the referer because it's white listed via the
+#      trusted-cgi-referer directive.
+#
+#      Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) is a mechanism to allow
+#      cross-origin requests.
+#
+#      The "cors-allowed-origin" option can be used to specify a
+#      domain that is allowed to make requests to Privoxy CGI
+#      interface via JavaScript. It is used in combination with the
+#      trusted-cgi-referer directive.
