I setup a standalone elasticsearch using docker image(elasticsearch:alpine)  
Try to enable cors setting in /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/elasticsearch.yml

```auto
http.cors.enabled: true
http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
http.cors.allow-methods: OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
http.cors.allow-headers: "X-Requested-With,X-Auth-Token,Content-Type, Content-Length, Authorization"

```

then restart this container.  
curl --head [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200), the result is

```auto
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
content-length: 327

```

No CORS header, is it right?

CORS is a two-way process. The client sends particular CORS-related headers, and then the server responds appropriately. Unless you tell `curl` to set those request headers, you won't see anything in the response.

If you add the `Origin` header to your request, you should see what you're looking for:

```
$ curl --head http://localhost:9200 -H 'Origin: http://foo.com'

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
access-control-allow-origin: *
content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
content-length: 326

```
