I have a C# API to track leaderboard scores. It expects a json as its content-type.

I am trying to use AJAX to POST to the scoreboard.

I have the following events:

When I run my layout in preview and hit these events, fiddler is showing me that the method used is OPTIONS, not POST. If I remove the Set Header event, fiddler shows me that it correctly POSTs, but is then rejected with a 415 as x-www-form-urlencoded is not an expected content-type.

Is this a bug? Am I missing something?

I figured out the issues. CORS was not configured on the API to accept calls from preview.construct.net. This resulted in the the browser rejecting the OPTIONS call. Once I fixed that, construct then completed the OPTIONS call and followed it up with the POST call.

Mind sharing how you configured your API to accept calls from preview.construct.net?
