I had the same problem. In the jQuery documentation I found:
For cross-domain requests, setting the content type to anything other than
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
,multipart/form-data
, ortext/plain
will trigger the browser to send a preflight OPTIONS request to the server.
So though the server allows cross origin request but does not allow Access-Control-Allow-Headers
, it will throw errors. By default angular content type is application/json
, which is trying to send a OPTION request. Try to overwrite angular default header or allow Access-Control-Allow-Headers
in server end. Here is an angular sample:
$http.post(url, data, {
headers : {
'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8'
}
});
