Angularjs $http GET method change to OPTION, while adding custom headers

var users= $resource('http://myapp.herokuapp.com/users', {});
users.get();

After adding header method, http GET method change to OPTION

var users= $resource('http://myapp.herokuapp.com/users', {}, {
    get:{
        method:"GET",
        headers:{'x-access-token':'token'}
    }
});

users.get();

Please guide me why GET method change to OPTION Method.

Preflight that causes confusion --> Preflight is an additional request the XHR object makes to make sure it's allowed to actually make the request

Following REST conventions, an OPTION call is being made before the GET call.

To quote the spec:

This method allows the client to determine the options and/or requirements associated with a resource, or the capabilities of a server, without implying a resource action or initiating a resource retrieval.
