Status code = 0 when using xhrFields: { withCredentials: true } in jQuery $ajax call with Firefox

Solution
You probably have to specify the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header more explicitly than *.
https://developer.mozilla.org/En/HTTP_access_control#Requests_with_credentials says:
Important note: when responding to a credentialed request, server must specify a domain, and cannot use wild carding.
Problem
I'm using ``` xhrFields : { withCredentials: true } ``` in jQuery $ajax calls, in order to send session cookies within my queries. The call gives a correct status code on my apache logs (401/200 depending if the cookie is set), but Firefox always receives a status=0 (i.e. an error in $.ajax()) If I remove this xhrFields section, status code is OK (but cookies are not sent) Here's the response object I receive in Firefox with the xhrFields setup: ``` {"readyState":0,"responseText":"","status":0,"statusText":"error"} ``` My Apache config is CORS-enabled, and also allows Access-Control-Allow-Credentials (here are the corresponding HTTP headers) ``` Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * ``` Is there something missing, either in the AJAX call, or on the webserver config? NB: This works perfectly fine in Chrome
