Cross domain ajax request
I want to get the HTML response page from the cross-domain URL.
for this I am using the ajax request as,
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: "http://wcidevapps.com/salescentral/idisk/0001000383/iDisk",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
$(response).find('li a').each(function () {
listHref.push($(this).attr('href'));
});
}
});
But after requesting it doesn't respond with any result back.
Solution 1:
<script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function NameAFunctionName() {
$.ajax({
url: 'http://wcidevapps.com/salescentral/idisk/0001000383/iDisk',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
headers: {
//WRITE IF THEIR HAVE SOME HEADER REQUEST OR DATA
},
crossDomain: true,
success: function (data, textStatus, xhr) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function (xhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(errorThrown);
}
});
}
</script>
Solution 2:
Check documentation : http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
crossDomain (default: false for same-domain requests, true for cross-domain requests)
Type: Boolean
If you wish to force a crossDomain request (such as JSONP) on the same domain, set the value of crossDomain to true. This allows, for example, server-side redirection to another domain. (version added: 1.5)
Solution 3:
My suspicion is that you see the issue because the page you're requesting does not respond with a json(p) response, but responds with a redirect to:
http://wcidevapps.com/salescentral/idisk/0001000383/iDisk/
(note the trailing slash)
which then returns content type:
Content-Type:text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
Edit: If your intention is to retrieve the above site's data cross-domain, for further parsing by your script, I suggest that you choose one of the following:
Assumption 1: YOU are in control of the pages on server "http://wcidevapps.com"
In that case, you have two options: Either add CORS header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to the response (and configure the client ajax() call with dataType:"html"), or create a special JSON(P) page that delivers the same data as JSON (with padding) (and configure the client ajax() call like in the OP, with dataType:"jsonp")
Assumption 2: YOU are NOT in control of the pages on server http://wcidevapps.com
In that case, the only option I can think of is setup a proxy on a site that you control. Have that proxy "proxy" the requests/responses to "http://wcidevapps.com", but add the CORS header "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" to the response (and configure the client ajax() call with dataType:"html")
