Angular 405 error on $http request

Question

This question is sort of related to this question I posted.

Allow my API to be access via AJAX

I manage to fix the CORS error, I think by adding following the instructions on http://enable-cors.org/server_apache.html . The issue doesn't appear now.

But this time, I am getting a 405 error, to which I am not sure why so.

Client

var appOrigin = 'http://event.chart.local/api/vendor/events.json';
app.factory('chartListLoadService',['$http',function($http){
  return {
      fetchList: function(city){
          var data      = {city:city};
          $http({
              method:'post',
              url:appOrigin,
              data:data
          }).success(function(data){
              alert(data);
          });
      },
      testFunction:function(){
          alert('testing');
      }
  };
}]);

Server

public function post_events()
{
    $city = Input::post('city','all');
    $c = Model_chart::format_chart($city);
    return $this->response($c);
}

Answer 1

From the FuelPHP side:

Assuming you use Controller_Rest to create this functionality:

That returns a 405 status if it can't match the request to any method in the controller.

Again, assuming with a link like http://event.chart.local/api/vendor/events.json , your controller is Controller_Api_Vendor (or a namespace variant), and the method is "events"?

In that case, it will look for either options_events(), or action_events(). If one of these exist and is callable, the 405 is not generated by Fuel.
