angularJS sending OPTIONS instead of POST

Question

Im stuck at this 2 days I can not find a solution. When im doing an AngularJS POST it Sends OPTIONS in the header and returns error from the API the code looks like this no

Answer 1

When you invoke the CORS requests, the browser always sends the OPTIONS request to server to know what methods are actually allowed. So this is the desired behaviour. This is so called: "Preflighted request", see: http://www.nczonline.net/blog/2010/05/25/cross-domain-ajax-with-cross-origin-resource-sharing/ (section: "Preflighted requests")

Therefore in your case, you have to allow the OPTIONS method in 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' header of your CORS filter.
