Moving forward with my mobile app development learning process, I've found a new obstacle: Cross-origin Request Sharing or CORS.
I am using a combination of AngularJS + jQuery Mobile (Cordova phone client) and ASP.NET Web API (backend). My issue is that I have not been able to complete a POST request (or any other type of request) to an API controller.
My AngularJS controller uses the $http.post() service method to call the Web API controller. However, Chrome debugger says that the call failed in an OPTIONS request (possibly the CORS preflight request).
I have implemented the CORS action selector from the following post: Enabling CORS in Web API Project. Even tough I can call the api method from Fiddler, AngularJS keeps failing on the OPTIONS preflight request.
Is there anything I should be aware of about AngularJS and cross-domain calls? Any possible solution to my predicament?
Thanks.
