Angular SEO + Phantom + Node: fetching and rendering data

I followed the tutorial here in order to get my app html pre-renderered.

• Start my app with grunt serve -> http://localhost:9000


• node / express server with npm start -> http://localhost:8000


• phantom in http://localhost:9090 -> phantomjs --disk-cache=no angular-seo-server.js 9090 http://localhost:9000

The problem is i am unable to get the fetched data rendered properly in the view when i curl the Phantom server - i.e. curl 'http://localhost:9090/?_escaped_fragment_=/news'.

In the node.js server i am using the cors module to whitelist domains and a Mongo database.

In the Angular controller:

$http.get('http://localhost:8000/news').
      success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        $scope.news = data;
        $scope.htmlReady();
      }).
      error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        console.log("cloud not get dat..");
      });

But the $scope.htmlReady() never gets called. In fact never enters the success method and goes directly to the error.

In short:

• Requests are being correctly made to the server


• Data is correctly fetched in node


• The ng-view loads the controller's template correctly


• By some reason succes method is never getting called, so data never gets binded in scope.

I am guessing res.send(myData) in node is maybe trying to send back the response to localhost:9000 (grunt) not to localhost:9090 (phantom) but just guessing..

Any ideas?
