I am getting the following error while using ApiKeyAuthentication for my Tastypie resources when I try to do an HTTP request using AJAX and Tastypie:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://domain.com/api/v1/item/?format=json&username=popo&api_key=b83d21e2f8bd4952a53d0ce12a2314c0ffa031b1. Request header field Authorization is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Here are the request headers from Chrome:
Request Headersview source
Accept:*/*
Accept-Charset:
ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3
Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch
Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8
Access-Control-Request-Headers:
origin, authorization, access-control-allow-origin, accept, access-control-allow-headers
Access-Control-Request-Method:
GET
Here are the response headers from Chrome:
Response Headersview source
Access-Control-Allow-Headers:
Origin,Content-Type,Accept,Authorization
Access-Control-Allow-Methods:
POST,GET,OPTIONS,PUT,DELETE
Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*
Connection:keep-alive
Content-Length:0
Content-Type:

As you can see, they both have headers for Authorization, yet authorization does not work.
Here is the django middleware that I am using to edit the response headers: https://gist.github.com/1164697
Edit: I figured out the problem. I was trying to connect to www.domain.com, and it only accepts domain.com
Antyrat's answer is not complete.
You have to specify which headers your server allows; in your case Authorization.
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization
