Node/Express not responding to POST

I have an AngularJS front-end talking to a Node/Express/MySQL backend, and all requests work fine apart from a POST request, here's my Angular Code:

var Data = $resource('http://127.0.0.1:9001/api/data_user');
var newData = new Data({'data_id': data_id});
newData.test = 'whatever';
newData.$save(function (data) {
  console.log(data);
});

And I've taken my usual debugging steps of removing all code until something works, however even this is not working (from client):

app.post('/api/:table', function (req, res) {
  res.send(200);
});

I previously had a MySQL update statement in there, which was being executed properly (with error checking etc), however the front-end is just waiting for a response to come:

(Chrome Dev tools): data_user /api POST (pending) Pending

The annoying thing about this is that a CURL works fine:

$ curl -i -X POST http://127.0.0.1:9001/api/data_user --data '{}' -H "Content-Type: application/json"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
X-Powered-By: Express
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 2
Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:54:21 GMT
Connection: keep-alive

Has anyone got any ideas at all? Can post more code if required

Are you viewing your page as 127.0.0.1 or as localhost? You may be running into CORS CORS. This would explain why a cURL works but a POST request from your page does not work if you are viewing your page as "localhost" but are posting to 127.0.0.1
