angular OPTIONS http preflight on "Same Domain"?

I am currently confused about how angular's (jquery) preflight OPTIONS call is "selected" or chosen to perform before a request.

I have a normal RESTful api call (api.domain.co)

I have created a host entry 127.0.0.1 local.domain.co in my hosts file /etc/hosts.

I've created self-signed certificate:

http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html

I've configured the certs in my mac as trusted:

http://abetobing.com/blog/port-forwarding-mac-os-yosemite-81.html

I've configured my Yosemite Port Forwarding Rules:

http://abetobing.com/blog/port-forwarding-mac-os-yosemite-81.html

I understand that from the browser's perspective (Chrome):

I have an angular app being loaded from https://local.domain.co with a trusted certificate that has a call to https://api.domain.co/user everything looks green with the cert, and I still get a preflight OPTIONS call to my api.domain.co server which is a node resitfy server with CORS support

Everything is Working... BUT

I want to get rid of the OPTIONS preflight Any pointers?

You can't use localhost. I had to create an entry in my host file to associate 127.0.0.1 to an arbitrary name like mackbook. Then it should work for you.

unfortunately subdomain still affected by preflight rule so if you want to remove OPTIONS you can either using jsonp or have the same subdomain for both the site & api.
