⚠️BREAKING CHANGE⚠️

Previously, CORS was enabled by default, which meant that a Socket.IO server sent the necessary CORS headers (Access-Control-Allow-xxx) toany domain. This will not be the case anymore, and you now have to explicitly enable it.

Please note that you are not impacted if:

• you are using Socket.IO v2 and theorigins option to restrict the list of allowed domains
• you are using Socket.IO v3 (disabled by default)

This commit also removes the support for '*' matchers and protocol-less URL:

io.origins('https://example.com:443'); => io.origins(['https://example.com']);io.origins('localhost:3000');          => io.origins(['http://localhost:3000']);io.origins('http://localhost:*');      => io.origins(['http://localhost:3000']);io.origins('*:3000');                  => io.origins(['http://localhost:3000']);

To restore the previous behavior (please use with caution):

io.origins((_,callback)=>{callback(null,true);});
