hi im reading through the topic above and trying to apply it to my app. as reference i found:http://leopard.in.ua/2012/07/08/using-cors-with-rails/
my prob is that i dont see the 'preflight', meaning the first request prior the actual post, which should(?) deliver this: request.request_method=='OPTIONS'
the js code look like this: $.ajax ({ type: 'POST', dataType: "json", crossDomain: true, url: "http://someserver/foo.json", data: {test:999},
in application_controller.rb i have this in a before filter: def cors p "calling - CORS" p request.request_method #<< this is "POST" instead of the expected OPTIONS p request.headers["HTTP_ORIGIN"] #<< this is http://localhost from which im posting head(:ok) if true # request.request_method == "OPTIONS" end also in the browser inspection i see only the actual post, not the preflight request sending the OPTIONS.
am i on a wrong track here?
thx
