Jquery ajax not working in IE9 even with cors = true

This is my simple ajax code which works in FFX and Chrome but not in IE9. I am so much fed up of this browser I can't express. This is my jquery code:

   $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                dataType: "xml",
                crossDomain: true,
                cache:false,
                url: "http://somedomain.net/folder/ap/connector.php"
            }).success(function (result, payPalresult) {
});

inside document.ready and connector.php has 

Access-Control-Allow-Origin *

when I checked in Fiddler. Now this code works on FFX and Chrome but no ajax call is ever made in IE9

I even have this:

 $.support.cors = true;

Is there anything I am missing at this point? I am making an AJAX request from localhost

If it's any help the workaround for IE9 without using xdr (in the trusted sites zone at any rate) and presuming CORS is true and crossDomain is true.

When doing a POST, do NOT serialize the form but instead extract all the data you need out of the form and set each as name:value pairs within the $ data container. Then it works.

jQuery doesn't support IE's XDomainRequest object, which is what IE9 uses for CORS. Only IE10 does CORS with XMLHttpRequest. I believe there's a patch/plug-in you can find for jQuery that enables the XDomainRequest object. More information (including a link to a patch/plugin updated just six months ago, so fairly recent) in this ticket on the jQuery website.
