You have to enable the headers module first, like so :

  • click on the wamp icon in your systray
  • go to Apache > Apache modules
  • check the option 'headers_module'

And then include this in your apache config:

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
</IfModule>

(in httpd.conf or in the configuration of your vhost)

(Instead of the * you can also specify a specific domain)
