I have attempted to do my homework before asking this question but I cannot see what is missing in my headers.
I set the following headers in the javascript:
xhr.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'Origin, Accept, Content-Type, Access-Control-Allow-Origin');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET,POST');
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
The server sends the headers with the response:
Pragma: no-cache
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: PUT, GET, POST, OPTIONS
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept
Access-Control-Max-Age: 86400
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate, no-cache, post-check=0, pre-check=0

Yet I get the error in my browsers(FF & Chrome):
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://api.mydomain.com/login. (Reason: missing token ‘access-control-allow-headers’ in CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Headers’ from CORS preflight channel).
Can anyone see what I am missing?
