No, a preflight (OPTIONS) request is sent by the browser first prior to sending the request initiated by the application. I would be surprised if it is possible for the client browser to control this OPTIONS request more than just the URL. I am curious if anyone else has any input on this topic though.

Maybe there is some side-channel timing that can be used to determine the existence of a device, but not so sure about actually crafting and delivering a malicious payload.
