canary --disable-web-security doesn't work any more for ajax requests in AngularJS project
EDIT
Working solution: use the command open -a Google\ Chrome\ Canary --args --disable-web-security --user-data-dir=$HOME/profile-folder-name.
Explanation: --disable-web-security now requires the use of the --user-data-dir flag.
Windows command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-web-security --user-data-dir=%USERPROFILE%\profile-folder-name
This seems to be a bug only in Canary (works as expected in latest stable Chrome). Chrome sees the flag and displays the warning but fails to allow cross domain requests. It did work a couple of days ago.
I reported the issue: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=575690
Try to close the browser and open it with special argument again.
Canary is being updated often and when you accept to update it it restarts without special arguments.
