I'm struggling with this issue since many hours... :-(
My grunt-served angular app issues an $http GET request to a simple PHP service on the same host (apache), to get a list of persons. The result I get is an OPTIONS request (???), which gets a 405 response... But why an OPTIONS pre-flight request before a GET???
These are the details of my setup:
Grunt config Gruntfile.js:
grunt.initConfig({
...
connect: {
options: {
port: 9000,
hostname: '0.0.0.0',
livereload: 35729
},
},
...
Angular service persons.js:
app.service('Persons', function($http) {
...
return({
getPersons: function () {
return $http({
method: 'get',
url: http://192.168.1.1/myapp/api/persons/get',
}).then(handleSuccess, handleError);
},
...
});
...
File /api/persons/get/index.php:
...
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "http://192.168.1.1:9000");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "Cache-Control, Pragma, Origin, Authorization, Content-Type, X-Requested-With");
header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "GET, PUT, POST, OPTIONS, DELETE, X-XSRF-TOKEN");
echo json_encode($persons);
(In fact, server-side I use Slim framework, so this is "index.php" file, which server "/api/persons/..." requests via .htaccess: "... RewriteRule ^(.)$ index.php [QSA,L]"...*)
And this is the (sad :-() result I get:

I did also try using grunt-connect-proxy, with no better results...
If I forgot any detail, please just ask...
And please, please, help... :-)
