Put this file in a directory called, eg, 'middleware,' inside your django
project. Make sure to create an __init__.py file in the directory so it can
be included as a module.
Set the values for
settings.XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_ORIGINS
settings.XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_METHODS
settings.XS_SHARING_ALLOWED_HEADERS
in settings.py. Then include
'modernomad.middleware.crossdomainxhr.CORSMiddleware'
in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in settings.py.
