Description

I think enough WP setups have some caching engine like Varnish installed that it'd be useful to have a 'Vary: Origin' header on any responses that have a Access-Control-Allow-Origin header.

Steps to replicate:
Send CURL request to WP API with a custom origin. See that the it returns with Access-Control-Allow-Origin: custom origin but does not have a Vary: Origin header so if you have a caching engine installed and send another request with a separate origin than the first, it will still return custom origin.

Forgot to add a link to the HAPI code as an example of a framework providing a Vary header by default in their CORS support: https://github.com/hapijs/hapi/blob/master/lib/cors.js#L157

I can get behind this. I do think it should only be for wp-api responses, at least initially. Would love to know what others think.

If this is going to make it for 4.7 it needs a patch.

Back-filling from slack, I'm +1 on adding this; as @jason_the_adams notes vary: origin is a W3 CORS implementation recommendation: https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/#resource-implementation

In 38806:

REST API: Include Vary: Origin in cors headers

vary: origin is a W3 CORS implementation recommendation( https://www.w3.org/TR/cors/#resource-implementation ). It's used by default in frameworks such as hapi and Laravel-cors. Overall, it helps sites siting behind a cache such as varnish.

Fixes #38060.
Props procodewp, pdufour for research.
