JQuery Ajax call going to .fail even though server response is HTTP 200 with valid JSON data

Any ideas why this JQuery code is failing? No matter what I try, it always goes to .fail, not .done (or success). The error reported is very generic (statustext = "error").

The ajax call is properly sending data to the server, and the server response is successful with valid json data. Here is the Javascript:

function submitform()
    {       
        $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url:'http://192.168.1.73:8080/LicenseService/v1/license',
          data: getData()
        }).done(function(data) {
          alert('success');
        }).fail(function(data) {
          alert('fail!');
        });
    }

Here is the HTTP request (from Fiddler)

POST http://192.168.1.73:8080/LicenseService/v1/license HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.73:8080

Here is the HTTP response:

Any ideas are welcome!

The server you are trying to access doesn't allow Cross-origin requests.

The server must have the following headers:

access-control-allow-origin: <server name or *>
access-control-allow-methods: POST
access-control-allow-headers: content-type, accept
access-control-max-age: 10

Ultimately, you can find a proxy for this.
