The reason for this is that having origin in the get_info calls causes an
infinite loop. The way that code was written it relies on GETorHEAD_base to
populate the data- the only problem is that the HEAD call is wrapped by
cors_validation which calls get_info and round and round we go. imo get_info
should be refactored to not work this way (relying on this other call to do
stuff behind scenes and then magically your stuff is there) because it seems
pretty prone to breaking. But I'll let somebody else do that :).
