Anynomous endpoints
If you want other webservices to connect to your appscript, you’ll want anonymous access (see settings in Publish > Deploy as webapp)
The following matrix applies now:
| webrequest | Anonymous webrequest | CORS | application/json | application/javascript | text/xml | text/plain | text/html |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GET /exec?path=/foo | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ⚠ |
| POST /exec?path=/foo&method=GET | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ⚠ |
| POST /exec?path=/foo&method=POST | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ⚠ |
| POST /exec?path=/foo&method=PUT | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ⚠ |
| POST /exec?path=/foo&method=DELETE | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ⚠ |
| POST /exec?path=/foo&method=OPTIONS | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ⚠ |
