SailsJS - CORS - The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains the invalid value ''

I generated a new sails.js app and created a test API as follows.

module.exports = {
     test:function (req, res) {
        return res.ok({success: true});
    },
}

The sails app is hosted in a standalone local machine with at 192.168.3.208:1337.

My CORS config is as follows.

module.exports.cors = {
  origin: '*',
  credentials: true,
};

When I make a simple AJAX call from my local machine (192.168.3.210) to the API,

$.ajax({
    type: 'GET',
    url: 'http://192.168.3.208:1337/api/test',
    dataType: 'json',
    success: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
    },
    failure: function(data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
});

I get the following error

Failed to load http://192.168.3.208:1337/api/test: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains the invalid value ''. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.

The html page is hosted with Apache at port 80.

What am I missing here?

This solved the problem

module.exports.cors = {
  origin: '*', // Required whitelist
  credentials: true,
  headers: ['Authorization', 'content-type', 'user-agent']
};
