Since the CORS support in Swift allows the preflight OPTIONS response to be different on a per-container basis (which is correct in a multi-tenant system), the CORS support was added directly into Swift's proxy server rather than as middleware. In order to fulfill the OPTIONS request, container information needs to be read from the system, and the proxy server already has this information (probably in cache). Implementing the CORS support as middleware would require duplicating much of the code and framework that already exists in Swift's proxy server. CORS support in Swift was correctly implemented.
