Access Control Request Headers, is added to header in AJAX request with jQuery

What you saw in Firefox was not the actual request; note that the HTTP method is OPTIONS, not POST. It was actually the ‘pre-flight’ request that the browser makes to determine whether a cross-domain AJAX request should be allowed: http://www.w3.org/TR/cors/ The Access-Control-Request-Headers header in the pre-flight request includes the list of headers in the actual … Read more

Disable same origin policy in Chrome

Jquery Ajax Posting JSON to webservice

You mentioned using json2.js to stringify your data, but the POSTed data appears to be URLEncoded JSON You may have already seen it, but this post about the invalid JSON primitive covers why the JSON is being URLEncoded.
