Summary

Need to have an option to switch requests sent through by web API or a backend server, since a backend server does not have to deal with the cors issues.

Why should this be worked on?

Am using the docker version, and having issues with cors: seems like my requests and proxy servers are both blocked by the cors policy.
postman does not have to deal with the cors issues.
send requests from self-hosted sites with HTTPS enabled to an HTTP destination is most likely impossible due to web security policy.

You can use the official browser extension if your only goal is to override CORS. Else, you can use the proxy interceptor as well.

If this solves your problem, please close this issue.
