Use Ajax to submit a HTTPS request

[muiz123]

Can we use AJAX to submit a https request in a http page?
E.g.
1. Open a page: http://localhost/test.html.
test.html code:

<html>
	<head>
		<script src="script/sys.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
		<script src="script/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
	</head>
	<body>
		<script type="text/javascript">
			function test() {
				//var url = "http://localhost/ajax?xxxx";
				var url = "https://localhost/ajax?xxxx";
				new Ajax.Request(url, {method: "get",
	    			onComplete: function(transport) {
						alert(transport.status + ": " + transport.responseText);
	    		 	}
				 });	
			}
			test();
		</script>
		<form action="https://localhost/ajax?xxxx" name="xx">
			<input type="submit" value="submit">
		</form>
	</body>
</html>

2. Then run test script to submit a https request
the response status is 0. and the response test = ""

How can we add the SSL exception from a ajax response?

You can surely do that with JSON, I believe that changing the protocol would be handled as a cross-domain request which is not allowed in AJAX.

Thanks Canabeez. I will study JSON and try it.

I download JSONRequest.js, but for JSON.js, I cannot find it. Any ideas?

BTY, i want to use SSL to validate username and password.
