If I do a POST using AC to a http://example.com/form.cgi and the initial 
OPTIONS request forwards to http://example.org/pub/form.cgi, does that 
mean that the POST goes directly to the second URI? That seems like a 
bad idea to me since it makes cross-site requests behave very different 
from same-site requests, rather than just differing in authorization.
