AngularJS HTTP headers config. Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 401

Question

I'm trying to get a Rest service with angular:

angular.module('coursExoApp').factory('serviceAjax', function ($http) {
return{
    objects: function(){
         var test=$http({
            method: 'GET',
            url: 'http://------------/Windchill/servlet/rest/changes/objects/getReports',
            headers: {
                'Authorization': 'Basic d2NhZG1pbjp3Y2FkbWlu'           
            }
            }).
            success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                console.log('success');
            }).
            error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                console.log(config);
            });

            return test;
    }
}});

and i'm getting this error: IMAGE HERE

The service with basic authentification works fine with postMan. thanks for help

Sounds like an issue with CORS, perhaps you need to modify the service to allow the origin of the request (Domain your app is running from) ?

Chrome v37/38 CORS failing (again) with 401 for OPTIONS pre-flight requests
