Do phonegap support Cors?

I am newbie to phonegap. I am trying to run an AngularJs app inside phonegap. At the server side I am using Apache tomcat 7 CORS filter and Rest.When I run the app from browser it works fine. but at the moment I run the app with phonegap in ios or android, the GET request works fine but the post request gives 403 Forbidden response. I can see inside the request "Origin" header value to file://. I think the problem lies here.

My tomcat Cors filter configuration is:

<filter>
    <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.apache.catalina.filters.CorsFilter</filter-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.allowed.origins</param-name>
        <param-value>*</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.allowed.methods</param-name>
        <param-value>GET,POST,HEAD,OPTIONS,PUT</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.allowed.headers</param-name>
        <param-value>customer,user,Delay,Content-Type,X-Requested-With,accept,Origin,Access-Control-Request-Method,Access-Control-Request-Headers</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.exposed.headers</param-name>
        <param-value>Access-Control-Allow-Origin,Access-Control-Allow-Credentials</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.support.credentials</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>cors.preflight.maxage</param-name>
        <param-value>10</param-value>
    </init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>CorsFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

And this is what I get when I do post request from client:

Request URL:http://134.0.12.789:8081/test/rest-api/testing/add
Request Method:PUT
Status Code:403 Forbidden

Also my both www/config.xml and platform/android/res/xml/config.xml has <access origin="*" /> line added to it.

CORS is also enabled in angular.js by adding the following lines to app.js:

$httpProvider.defaults.useXDomain = true;
delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
