XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://abcd.com/xyz?id=1. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8080' is therefore not allowed access.
I'm setting
<iron-ajax
id="requestRepos"
headers='{"Accept": "*/*"}'
url="http://abcd.com/xyz"
params="{{requestParams}}"
handle-as="json"
on-response="handleResponse"></iron-ajax>
I tried the above using CORS extension in chrome, and it worked. But without it, it doesn't work.
