["Sasha Simkin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2027?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13960942#comment-13960942 ] 

Sasha Simkin commented on COUCHDB-2027:
---------------------------------------

Had the same issue.
My couchdb settings for CORS is:
[cors]
credentials = true(Tried false - nothing happens)
headers = accept, authorization, content-type, origin
origins = *

Also tried to set
method = OPTIONS,GET,POST,PUT,DELETE,HEAD
But there to nothing happens.
Admin party is off. Responce from curl from console:

curl --user usernaem:password -X OPTIONS http://localhost:5984/db_name
curl -X OPTIONS http://localhost:5984/db_name
{"error":"method_not_allowed","reason":"Only DELETE,GET,HEAD,POST allowed"}(Both requests above)

Because browser tries set OPTIONS first - he got 405 and stops further processing.
Couchdb version is 1.5.0.

Solution from comment above doesnt works :(

P.s:
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", "http://cors.enabled.crossorigin.couchdb:5984/dbname/");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization","Basic "+btoa("username:password"));
xhr.send();

This works(And return without `Allow` header), but when i write $.get('http://cors.enabled.crossorigin.couchdb:5984/dbname/') - here is 405, what does that mean?

> The discussion in https://github.com/daleharvey/pouchdb/issues/1003 points to an issue whereby CouchDB is requiring authentication for preflight OPTIONS message where it shouldn't.
