I've worked with some previous APIs in AngularJS, however there has always been a preflight using the OPTIONS method. Now I am building a new API from scratch and for some reason, AngularJS does NOT send a preflight request.
From what I have experienced AngularJS always sends a preflight when working with CORS, but not in my case. So question is really, what triggers a preflight in AngularJS if its not request to a domain which is not the same as the one AngularJS is being hosted on?
The example I have is quite easy and looks like this:
$scope.submit = function () {
$http.post('https://slimapi.devz/')
.then(function successCallback(response){
alert(response.data);
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log(response);
});
}
The requesting URL is https://slimfrontend.devz/.
Chrome gets triggered by the response headers in the XHR with the POST method, and will not display the result, however, the result is being fetched (as seen in timeline). But again, there is no sign of OPTIONS preflight.
Here is a picture of what my request looks like, and as you can see by the arrow. Chrome does detect the bad match of the origin.
