Okay, I've looked all over for this. Basically we're using $http request that ARE cross domain requests. Our server allows the domain and when a request returns 200, everything is OK. However, anytime our server returns an error, 500, 401, whatever, Angular thinks it's a CORS issue.
I debugged the response with Fiddler to verify my server IS returning a 500, yet Angular chokes on it.
Here's the request:
var params = {
url: "fakehost/example",
method: 'GET',
headers: {
"Authorization": "Basic encodedAuthExample"
}
};
$http(params).then(
function (response) { // success
},
function (error) { // error
// error.status is always 0, never includes data error msg
});
Then in the console, I will see this:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load fakehost/example. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'mylocalhost:5750' is therefore not allowed access.
Yet, in fiddler, the true response is:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
