apache is just what we are using the provide a front facing web page and you cannot set that kind of custom header on a request.
MVIS is the backend API / server which is where the CORS issue is. I was asking if there was a way to do what you are suggesting thinking there would be some sort of config file I couldn't find in the doco where we could add in custom headers.
Nb. Since creating this question I have logged a support ticket with Rocket and they have responded that it is currently unable to do it and it is with development. They did suggest some workarounds which was to setup a proxy and call that instead and for that to deal with CORS issue
