Hi,

I am using elasticsearch-angular.js client to connect to my ES instance which has custom security plugin installed. Below is the code i am using to make connection

myServices.service('es', ['esFactory',  
function (esFactory, $http) {  
return esFactory({  
host: '[http://esadmin:esadmin@localhost:9200](http://esadmin:esadmin@localhost:9200)',  
log: 'trace'  
});  
}]);

I have enabled cors in ES as below  
http.cors:  
enabled: true  
allow-origin: "/.\*/"  
allow-credentials: true  
allow-headers: "X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Content-Length, Authorization"  
allow-methods: "OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE"

However i get the below errors when inspected in chrome

OPTIONS [http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/)

XMLHttpRequest cannot load [http://localhost:9200/](http://localhost:9200/). Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 401

Could you please help me out
