[webkit-help] Webkit on Android

Hi all,

I am running Ajax on the native browser (which is based on the WebKit 
framework)
of Android 1.6 which is not too famous for dealing with the same-origin 
security policies.
The Ajax clients call remote web services from the phone and since the
scripts in them contain various URLs I get a preflighted request (with
OPTIONS). However, when the server returns the preflighted response
the browser does not do much beyond that (to serve the client that was
running on it). I cannot return these responses to the browser.

Any idea as to what the browser or the WebKit based browsers expect back
from such preflighted requests?

Thanks very much in advance
Demetris
