Why `POST` and `DELETE` request call `OPTIONS`?

I’m trying to do DELETE or POST request to some singleton rest object, and the result is that it actually calling OPTIONS instead(which failed, because I have no such a method in my API)…

$scope.$$event=API.one('events', id);
$scope.$$rsvp = $scope.$$event.one("rsvp");

//trying to request REMOVE action to /events/:id/rsvp
$scope.$$rsvp.remove();

How can I pass it?

That depends on you backend for example with apache server you can do something like this in .htaccess file:

<ifModule mod_headers.c>
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Methods "POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS"
    Header always set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "origin, x-requested-with, content-type"
</ifModule>

add more headers if you use something more then thease and everything should work.
