AJAX request in jQuery. How to get rid of Access-Control-Request-Headers header?

Question

JavaScript

Hello. It is necessary with the help of javascript to extract data from an xml file generated on a remote server. All I could think of was to make an ajax request to the xml file.
But jQuery sends an OPTIONS request instead of a GET request.
It turned out that this request is sent by Firefox in the case of a cross-domain request, when non-standard headers are sent. In jQuery's case it seems like:
Access-Control-Request-Headers: x-requested-with

How to get rid of this header? Or maybe there are other ways to pull information from xml?

Answer 1

This is a cross domain AJAX security policy, like flash's crossdomain.xml, the remote server must allow it to be used. If this is possible, then here is the theory - metajack.im/2010/01/19/crossdomain-ajax-for-xmpp-http-binding-made-easy/ , here is the working method - blog.dgorbunov.ru/2009/05/jquery -mochiweb-options.html
