OK -- I figured out the problem.
You both were right - the headers was NOT the issue.
The problem was that I was fighting a cross domain problem. I moved all of
the code to the apache2 server in an Ubuntu VM I was using Rivet in and
THAT seemed to do the trick. Setting up Apache2 with a Virtual Server was
not a trivial thing... finally found a good article on how to do this
quickly.
After I got all of that configured correctly -- it worked perfectly... I
think the cross domain request was a bigger problem than I realized at the
time.
I was doing a file based view of my HTML, calling the Rivet server.... no
go... Moved to the Rivet Server... ALL OK! (basics always burn me it
seems).
Now I can roll up the sleeves and play.
THANKS for your quick response(s).
