CORS request not working in Safari

Question

I am making a CORS xhr request. This works fine in chrome, however when I run in safari I get an \'Can not load ---- access not allowed by Access-control-allow-origin\'.

I encountered the same error when making an XHR request against a file in Amazon S3. On Safari 7 it was failing. I know you're not using Amazon S3, but I thought I'd post in case this solution helped others.

The problem was that Safari 7 set the Access-Control-Request-Headers header to "origin, x-requested-with", but my AWS CORS configuration only allowed "x-requested-with":

    
        *
        GET
        3000
        Authorization
        x-requested-with
    

I added "origin" as an allowed header and everything worked fine.

        origin

Note: the AllowedOrigin of * is for development purposes only. See @andes comment below for more information.
