That doesn't sound very robust server implementation. If your server would
send an answer to OPTIONS probe (even just 501 or 200) web browser would
immediately sent the POST request you want to receive.
I read quickly some node.js documentation and looks like adding support for
OPTIONS would not be impossible. Something like "if (request.method ==
"OPTIONS") { ... } else { <processing for POST/GET> }" should work in
request handler.
