Why JSONP is still mandatory
Would using HTTPS prevent the VPN and various proxies from messing with the traffic as described in the article?

The issue was the same with HTTPS. HTTPS does not prevent the problem since the firewall was blocking all OPTIONS request.

I'm curious: with HTTPS, how does the firewall know that it's an OPTIONS request ?

By firewall, he would have to be talking about a client side firewall running on the machine making the request. Something that sees the request before it actually goes out on the wire.

You are right, I have tested it again and HTTPS is working since the firewall cannot decode headers.
