Getting specific headers in Node.js

Question

I'm making a simple Node.js app and need to be able to check the Authorization header of a request. The problem is that all I get in terms of that header is the fact that it's there. The headers property of my request only says access-control-request-headers : "accept, authorization, content-type" and nothing else about the content of those headers. Does Node not look that far into the request?

Those headers aren't there.

You're seeing a single header named Access-Control-Request-Headers, with a value of "accept, authorization, content-type".

Ok, so upon closer inspection you're right. Odd thing is that what I'm sending to my server is a $.ajax() request with the type set to "GET", yet the request that shows up at the server is an OPTIONS type. No idea why this is happening.
