title: Backbone Fetch Request is OPTIONS method
body: <p>I have a Backbone Collection object with the URL <code>http://localhost:8080/api/menu/1/featured</code>.</p>
  <p>I am trying to perform a fetch operation to retrieve the collection from the URL and parse it. However, on the server side, the method type that I see for this request is OPTIONS. The server is only suppose to support GET method. I am not sure how Backbone is figuring out what method type to use, and why it changes to OPTIONS method type randomly sometimes. I am using a Node.js server to process the request. This code below is pretty much what I did.</p>
  <pre><code>var FeaturedCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({
      model:FeaturedContent,
      url:function () { return url_featured; },
      parse:function (response) {
          console.log(response);
          return response;
      }
  });
  
  var featuredCollection = new FeaturedCollection();
  featuredCollection.fetch();
  </code></pre>
