I am a bit concerned about the security implications of making this change. If the POST request is "pre-flighted" by your browser (there are complex rules for when this is done), other actions by MinimServer would be required.

Is your website hosted locally on the same subnet as MinimServer or is it making the rescan request from a page accessed via the internet?

So far, my website is only accessed locally (I am currently in the US, but I have set-up a VPN at my home). This site is client server architecture, and I have a login and a password for any management of my music, so everything about management is pre flight. And yes, I had to add the 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' to access my server, even if on the same subnet.

Now, I don't want to force you to open it. I have another solution, which is to make an exec statement on your script (I use php for my server side).

BTW, if you don't open it, no client server architecture can send the command. I was wondering BTW: when I press the "rescan" button on the lumin app, how does the app sends the request to your server ? I thought it would be this post, but not possible if you don't allow CORS rule.

So don't bother doing this.
