API v2 - /files/download, <video>, https and CORS

Hi,

In our app we need direct links with access-control-allow-origin: * header applied.

How we can do that in V2 of the api?

So far we used 4h-expiring direct links and that was cumbersome due to the expiration, so we hope to get a nicer way with version 2, however seeing /files/download is being handled only via POST or GET with customized headers, it seems impossible.

Thanks in advance, jarek

    There isn't a good way to do this in API v2 yet, but I believe we do have some potential solutions planned for this. I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request though.

    As a workaround, I would recommend continuing to use v1 /media as like you have been.
