I created an API (api.example.com) and want it to be accessible from www.example.com
I also want it to be accessible from other domains.
For this, I added Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
But when I open www.example.com, the pre-flight request (OPTIONS request) is sent before all api requests.
How to stop several requests before the flight? I think there should be only one pre-flight request, what am I doing wrong !? Or is it natural that the browser must send a request before the flight before each call?
Note. I do not want to use JSONP as I make it publicly available. Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
