Description

I'm trying to setup a local instance of gitea with CORS enabled to allow integration with tools that expect CORS-enabled APIs.
Despite editing the configuration with this snippet, there's no indication that the instance is correctly cors-enabled(e.g. no indication in configuration section of site administration view in UI) and the tool I'm trying to integrate is still complaining about invalid CORS responses.

[cors]
ENABLED = true
ALLOW_DOMAIN = *
SCHEME = http
ALLOW_CREDENTIALS = true

I installed through snap, so maybe the issue is related but I don't see how.

For the records, I switched to using the docker image with a Caddy proxy to handle CORS instead.

IIRC, [cors] only works for API and a few web endpoints.
