CORS Request - HTTP OPTIONS Command fails in Chrome with 'Load cancelled' status

[Veer_Muchandi]

I am using Sencha Touch 2.1.0. I am making a HTTP GET call. It is a CORS request. Hence it is sending Pre-flight HTTP OPTIONS command as expected.
I have installed CORS filter on my server and configured it. The calls from my code were going through very well till yesterday. Suddenly today it stopped loading data. When I check the Network calls in Chrome, I see that the OPTIONS method shows up as "Load cancelled"
Method: OPTIONS
Status Text: "Load cancelled"
Type: pending
Initiator: Connection.js:319

I had a similar issue when I configured CORS filter for the first time. When I cleared browser cache, it started working. This time, I am not sure why it suddenly stopped working. I tried to clear the cache and history in the browser.
If I make the same exact call from HTTPRequestor in Firefox it works very well (hence server configuration seems good). Here is the call. I have masked url due to confidentiality reasons.

OPTIONS http://myurl/rest/items?_dc=13583048...art=0&limit=25 HTTP/1.1Access-Control-Request-Method: GETOrigin: http://localhost:8080Access-Control-Request-Headers: accept, origin, x-requested-withThe same exact request gives me a very good response from HTTPRequestor. Here is the result:

When I deploy this code, it works from the browser on the mobile device with no issues. It does not work from my computer.

I think this is the same problem I'm facing in iOS Safari:

Hi Veer_Muchandi,

I have the similar problem. Have you managed to resolve that?

I've tried command line option --disable-web-security, but it only seems to skip the OPTIONS request, while the POST request fails anyway.

What's interesting is that when I open the server URL in another tab thereby making the GET request, then the OPTIONS request starts working, until the browser is restarted.

Best regards
Just

Also, it seems to me it might be related to that the service is hosted in a staging environment, where the server uses a self-signed certificate.
