You have nginx on port 9000 which does "proxy_pass http://www.myserver.com:10085;".

You want responses from the upstream port 10085 to include this extra header.

Put "add_header Access-Control-Allow-Origin *;" in the same location{}
as the proxy_pass.

You can test, using something like "curl -v", to confirm that the response
to a request to port 9000 does not refer to port 10085 at all, and that
it includes the extra header.
