CORS and dealing with extra headers for “preflighted” requests about node-restify HOT 2 CLOSED

Agreed. I'll do two things: (1) I'll add Access-Control-Allow-Headers defaults (since I already automatically fill in methods and origin to *) for the sane things you typically need to send, but (2) Allow you to set them (and just change from hardcoding to defaults).

I'm really happy to hear it's working out well for you!

Ok, this is pushed out in version 0.3.9 (so npm update should get you going). The docs are there, but basically, do this:

restify.createServer({
  headers: {
    'X-Foo': function(res) {
      return 'bar';
    }
  }
});

You get a copy of the current response object after it's had all data and other gimmicks added to it; that's all largely undocumented (the stuff tacked on), but a console.log(require('util').inspect(res)); should get you going :). You can override any of the stuff restify does for you with this. Also, I added access-control-allow-headers defaults, so that may unblock your immediate pressing problem.
