ember-auth sends OPTIONS requests instead of POST on my development machine

I have a Sinatra-based server which provides RESTful API for the service I'm working on. On my development machine in runs on localhost:9393.

At the same time my client application (built with ember.js) which uses ember-auth for user authentication runs on another port: localhost:9000.

Previously I set up both server and client on the same host:port and returned client app as static files. Authentication worked pretty well. According to the official docs on SignIn I get POST request on the route I provided (/signin). But now I recieve OPTIONS request with no params whatsoever.

Some code from client (client is generated via Yeoman's ember-generator):

index.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <meta name="description" content="" />

Your REST API and client app are served from different origins; the protocol, host and port must be identical to follow same-origin policy. Your browser is making a preflight OPTIONS request to determine if your server will allow cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) from your client domain.

To get CORS working with your Sinatra server, you might want to check out rack-cors which will allow you to add middleware for setting the requisite access control headers. Once that is set up correctly, the expected POST request will be issued following the successful OPTIONS request.

For more on CORS, here are some resources I've found useful:
