title: Why am I getting an OPTIONS request instead of a GET request?
body: <pre><code>&lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;script&gt;
  $.get("http://example.com/", function(data) {
       alert(data);
  });
  &lt;/script&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it does an OPTIONS request to that URL, and then the callback is never called with anything. </p>
  
  <p>When it isn't cross domain, it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>Shouldn't jQuery just make the call with a <code>&lt;script&gt;</code> node and then do the callback when its loaded? I understand that I won't be able to get the result (since it is cross domain), but that's OK; I just want the call to go through. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?</p>
