Answer 1

You are sending request to cross domain.

For cross-domain requests, setting the content type to anything other than application/x-www-form-urlencoded, multipart/form-data, or text/plain will trigger the browser to send a preflight OPTIONS request to the server.

So you may need change specify contentType to avoid OPTION request. Example:-

$.ajax({
    url: "crossdomainurl",
    type: "GET",
    contentType: 'text/plain'
});
