Why Chrome cancel CORS OPTION request

Question

in my app I'm creating AJAX request from HTTP to HTTPS. This means I need CORS. So I add some headers and params to jQuery.ajax and test it. In Firefox everythings works OK, but in Chrome not. Chrome "kill" every preflighed request (OPTIONS).

jQuery script:

$(document).on('click', 'a.ajax', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $.ajax(this.href, {
        type: 'GET',
        dataType: 'json',
        crossDomain: false,
        headers: {'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'},
        xhrFields: {
            withCredentials: true
        }
    });
    return false;
});

HTTP dump:

> OPTIONS /foo HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.29.0
> Host: local.bar.cz
> Accept: */*
> Access-Control-Request-Headers:accept, origin, x-requested-with
> Access-Control-Request-Method:GET
> Origin:http://local.bar.cz
> 
< HTTP/1.1 204
< Server: nginx/1.2.7
< Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:06:54 GMT
< Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

< Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true
< Access-Control-Allow-Headers: accept, origin, x-requested-with
< Access-Control-Allow-Methods: OPTIONS, GET, POST, HEAD
< 

any one knows why chrome kill this request?

Maybe your https server has an untrusted certificate. If so, try accessing to the URL with your browser first, and accepting the untrusted connection.
