When AJAX blocking response page feature is enabled, ASM's pre-injected javascript code adds a custom header to each outgoing ajax request. Adding the header to a cross domain ajax request forces browsers to send an OPTIONS preflight request, if a back-end server doesn't not treat the pre-flight request properly, the request will fail resulting in broken functionality of a web application.
Broken cross domain ajax requests
Provision asm, attach asm policy to a virtual server and configure Enable AJAX blocking response page feature.
Disable AJAX blocking response page feature in ASM policy.
Avoid adding custom headers to cross domain ajax request.
