I would like to have send2cgeo to work on project-gc.com

Copied from original issue: cgeo/cgeo#5040

AFAIR there was some discussion about this with @ganja1447 some months ago and AFAIR he already prepared at least a menu item in the V-GPS for it for later use.

There are two problems with send2cgeo to solve for this to work.

We have to be able to do POSTs instead of GETs. Due to the (not specified) size limit of GET requests.

CORS (Cross-origin resource sharing) must be enabled in send2cgeo.
The problem that CORS solves is that web clients by default don't allow to use JS on other domains. But the client can ask the web server if it's ok. This snippet will tell the client that it's ok, and should be inserted before any other output. http://pastebin.com/4hwjP8NZ
We could probably shorten the allow-methods list to POST only.

GET requests are specified for up to 1024 bytes, although most servers take longer ones (usually twice, four, or eight times the size, sometimes even 16 KiB). However, for such sizes, POST is really more appropriate… actually, POST is always the appropriate one if state is changed on the server.

Is there anything I (experienced programmer) can do to help?
