I'm developing a Rails API, and a separate html5 application. They do not share the same domain. How do I set up my Rails application to accept cross-domain requests? I have added the following to the top of my ApplicationController, but without any luck -
before_filter :set_access_control_headers
def set_access_control_headers
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = 'http://myfrontend.com:3002'
headers['Access-Control-Request-Method'] = 'GET, OPTIONS, HEAD'
headers['Access-Control-Allow-Headers'] = 'x-requested-with,Content-Type, Authorization'
end
My javascript on my other app looks as follows -
var req = $.ajax({
url: url,
type: "GET",
crossDomain: true,
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR)
{
alert('success');
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown)
{
alert('error');
}
});
When I run this request, I get the following in my server log -
Started OPTIONS "/api/search?location_uuid=22222222222222222" for 127.0.0.1 at 2013-07-15 16:49:56 -0400
Processing by Api::V1::SearchController#index as JSON
Parameters: {"location_uuid"=>"22222222222222222"}

Anyone have any tips in getting this to work correctly?
