When trying to POST json to Asp.net web api server using $http its returning the following error

Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 405

OR

MVC web api: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource

Following is the solution for above problem

Cors

I installed Cors in my project using nu-get command line

Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors

and added the following code in WebApiConfig.cs file from App_Start folder.

var enableCorsAttribute = new EnableCorsAttribute("*",
                          "Origin, Content-Type, Accept",
                          "GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS");
config.EnableCors(enableCorsAttribute);

and removed the following from the web config

<remove name="X-Powered-By" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Accept, Content-Type, Origin" />
<add name="Access-Control-Allow-Methods" value="GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS" />
