Stream to localhost - how to get around CORS issue

[JK010]

I have a TS stream that I am converting to an MP4 stream. I am then trying to play it within a HTML file (on Windows 10) using a JS plugin, but the plugins that I am using fail with the following CORS message:

"Failed to load http://localhost:8081/test.mp4: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access."

I have read a bit about this and it looks like there is no way to address this within VLC. Has anybody encountered this before and is there a way around it? Some people suggested setting up a proxy server but I couldn't find anything on this that made sense and that I could follow.

Thanks.

Just do a dns forwarding to localhost.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't understand the exact actions that I need to take. Do you mean to add an entry in my hosts file (on Windows)? Or would this be done elsewhere on Windows?

The VLC streamer cannot know the correct value. The recommendation so far is to run VLC behind a reverse proxy, and insert the correct header value there.
