cross-domain http post without preflight

Question

is it possible to do a cross domain http "post" without preflight "options" if i'm not interested in parsing the response?

Answer 1

You can use plain old <form> element to post data to another domain. Its target attribute may ba a name of an invisible <iframe> element. This would prevent reloading the page after form has been submitted. Both form and iframe may be in html source hidden using CSS, or created on-the-fly in JavaScript.

Answer 2

It should be possible if you post text/plain From Fx 4.0 you can use any enctype. https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_Access_Control
