MooTools CORS request vs native Javascript
cross-domain, javascript, mootools, request, xmlhttprequest
Solution
This is because MooTools bundles some extra stuff with the request headers.
eg. if your htaccess says:
Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
you need to craft your request like that:
var foo = new Request({
url: 'http://fragged.org/Epitome/example/data/',
method: 'get',
onComplete: function (data) {
// returns an object with name and surname
new Element('div[html="{name} {surname}"]'.substitute(JSON.decode(data))).inject(document.body);
}
});
// need to remove that or CORS will need to match it specifically
delete foo.headers['X-Requested-With'];
foo.send();
This is why you are only seeing the OPTIONS pre-flight. It does not like you :)
You could change the `.htaccess` to also match `X-Requested-With`, which is probably some extra "security".
See http://jsfiddle.net/7zUSu/1/ for a working example - I did that a while ago when I wanted to get this change to Request https://github.com/mootools/mootools-core/issues/2381 fixed.
Problem
I have this MooTools code: ``` new Request.JSON({ method: 'POST', url: URL, /*URL TO ANOTHER DOMAIN*/ onSuccess: function(r){ callback(r); } }).post(data); ``` And this code doesn't send POST requests (OPTIONS only)... Look at the code below (it works great): ``` var http = null, params = Object.toQueryString(data); try { http = new XMLHttpRequest(); } catch (e) { try { http = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { try { http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } catch (e) { http = null; alert("Your browser does not support AJAX!"); } } } var url = URL; http.onreadystatechange = function () { if (http.readyState == 4 && http.status == 200) { var jsonData = JSON.parse(http.responseText); /*OR EVAL*/ callback(jsonData); } }; http.open("POST", url); http.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"); http.send(params); ``` EDIT: Tried: `.setHeader('Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');` Still nothing... Where can there be a problem? Thanks!
