ajax from HTTP to HTTPS

[kristofo]

On my page I have the FORM with one INPUT field. On SUBMIT this form I use JavaSript function "test_kod(this) " to valid is the the enetered value correct or not. But in the Internet Explorer ver <=9 the OPEN method allways fall with error "access denied".
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

function test_kod(field) {
    var req = createXMLHTTPObject();
    if (!req) { 
        return false;
    };
    try {
        [B]//in IE <= 9 in this place debuger allways return error "access denied"[/B] 
        req.open("GET","https://dad-atlas.datasolutions.pl/karta.php?karta="+field.value,false);
    }
    catch(e){
        return false;
    }
    req.setRequestHeader('User-Agent','XMLHTTP/1.0');
    req.onreadystatechange = function () {
        if (req.readyState != 4) return;
        if (req.status != 200 && req.status != 304) {
            return false;
        }
        if (req.responseText == "TAK") {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        };
    }
    if (req.readyState == 4) return;
    req.send();
}

var XMLHttpFactories = [
    function () {return new XMLHttpRequest()},
    function () {return new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP")},
    function () {return new ActiveXObject("Msxml3.XMLHTTP")},
    function () {return new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")}
];

function createXMLHTTPObject() {
    var xmlhttp = false;
    for (var i=0;i<XMLHttpFactories.length;i++) {
        try {
            xmlhttp = XMLHttpFactories[i]();
        }
        catch (e) {
            continue;
        }
        break;
    }
    return xmlhttp;
}

you’re not adhering to the SOP.

you’d either have to call a server script that requests the resource or you enable CORS.

I digged in the NET and changed my script to use the XDomainRequest. It works good, but only if the url request has HTTP protocol. When I try to use url request with HTTPS protocol, in IE I still have the "access denied" error.

My new script.

    function test_kod(field) {
      var xhr = createCORSRequest('GET', "https://dad-atlas.datasolutions.pl/karta.php?karta="+field.value);
      //var xhr = createCORSRequest('GET', "http://facebook.com");
      if (!xhr) {
        alert('CORS not supported');
        return false;
      }
      // Response handlers.
      xhr.onload = function() {
        var text = xhr.responseText;
        var title = getTitle(text);
        alert('Response from CORS request to ' + url + ': ' + title);
      };
    
      xhr.onerror = function() {
        alert('Woops, there was an error making the request.');
      };
    
      xhr.send();
    }
    
    // Create the XHR object.
    function createCORSRequest(method, url) {
      var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
      if ("withCredentials" in xhr) {
        // XHR for Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari.
        xhr.open(method, url, true);
        alert("Firefox open");
      } else if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined") {
        // XDomainRequest for IE.
        xhr = new XDomainRequest();
        xhr.open(method, url);
        alert("IE open");
      } else {
        alert('CORS not supported');
        xhr = null;
      }
      return xhr;
    }
    
    // Helper method to parse the title tag from the response.
    function getTitle(text) {
      return text.match('<title>(.*)?</title>')[1];
    }

When I try to use url request with HTTPS protocol, in IE I still have the "access denied" error.

there’s probably not much to do then. does it work in other browsers?

[kristofo]

Yes, it works good in Firefox and IE ver > 9, But in IE <=9 I still have the "access denied" error.
I heard about same IFRAME method to get around this problem, but I don't know how to do it.

[Dormilich]

since I'm hardly using CORS I don't know either. some google searches will have to do.
