Description

I tried to access a Fuseki Server by using an ajax request. Unfortunately the browser just sends an OPTIONS request and stops.

Fuseki returns correct Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers for a POST request, but I think it also needs to return them on an OPTIONS request [1]. Otherwise the browser would not allow the request.

I tested this with Firefox 13.0.1.
