Phantom JS synchronous AJAX request : NETWORK_ERR: XMLHttpRequest Exception 101

Question

I am making a synchronous ajax call ( ajax settings async: false ). This works well. Now I'm trying to write an automated test for this in phantomJS and I'm getting this error ``` NETWORK_ERR: XMLHttpRequest Exception 101 ``` I checked my service logs and it seems like service is not getting any request.

Accepted Answer

Try disabling the web security by using the command-line option `--web-security=no` when running your script. (`phantomjs --web-security=no yourscript.js`)

From the PhantomJS reference (http://phantomjs.org/api/command-line.html):

"`--web-security=[true|false]` enables web security and forbids cross-domain XHR (default is true). Also accepted: `[yes|no]`
