Response to preflight request doesn't pass access control check

Question

I\'m getting this error using ngResource to call a REST API on Amazon Web Services:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://server.apiurl.com:8000/s/login

Answer 1

A very common cause of this error could be that the host API had mapped the request to a http method (e.g. PUT) and the API client is calling the API using a different http method (e.g. POST or GET)
