How to enable cors request with angular.js-resource - angularjs

Question

I have an angular.js application and i need to do CORS request.
I want to define my rest services "the angular" using angular resources, described here: http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_11.
But i haven't found a way to get this working.
On google i found the following sample code: http://jsfiddle.net/ricardohbin/E3YEt/, but this seems not to work with angular-resources.
this is my app.js
'use strict';
angular.module('corsClientAngularApp', ['helloServices'])
.config(function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'views/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
});
this is my services.js with the rest services
angular.module('helloServices', ['ngResource']).
factory('Hello', function($resource){
return $resource('http://localhost:8080/cors-server/hello/:name', {}, {
query: {method:'GET', params:{name:'name'}, isArray:false}
});
});
This is my main.js with the controller using the $http, this works!:
'use strict';
angular.module('corsClientAngularApp')
.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $http, Hello) {
$http.defaults.useXDomain = true;
$http.get('http://localhost:8080/cors-server/hello/stijn')
.success(function(data) {
$scope.hello = data;
});
});
This is another version of my main.js using angular resources. This does NOT work :(
'use strict';
angular.module('corsClientAngularApp')
.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, $http, Hello) {
$http.defaults.useXDomain = true;
$scope.hello = Hello.query({name:'stijn'});
});
This is are the headers from the working request (from chrome devtools):
Request URL:http://localhost:8080/cors-server/hello/stijn
Request Method:OPTIONS
Status Code:200 OK
Request Headers

It looks like the request url is wrong when using angular-resources. But why?
Thanks!

Answer 1

URL for $resource accepts using colon for parameters. Therefore when using port in url you need to escape the colon for port. This is explained in $resource docs
