This is just for the record since I bumped into this post when looking for a solution to my problem which was similar to the OP's.

In my case my jQuery Ajax request was prevented from succeeding due to same-origin policy in Chrome. All was resolved when I modified my server (Node.js) to do:

response.writeHead(200,
          {
            "Content-Type": "application/json",
            "Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "http://localhost:8080"
        });

It literally cost me an hour of banging my head against the wall. I am feeling stupid...
