[jira] [Commented] (COUCHDB-2027) CORS should not require authentication on preflight OPTIONS request

["Michael Phan-Ba (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2027?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14305634#comment-14305634 ] 

Michael Phan-Ba commented on COUCHDB-2027:
------------------------------------------

I have also run into this issue. CouchDB appears to disallow the Authorization header by default.

As of writing, the Authorization header has not been added to the CORS handler:

> 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.
