When I test the code below it only fails
Any Ideas? The link works fine
$.ajax({
url: 'http://ulacit3352.cloudapp.net/Login/webresources/generic/search/gera',
type: 'GET',
datatype: 'json',
success: function(data) {
alert("works")
},
error: function() {
alert("it does not");
}
});
The response of the link is not of type "json", instead, it is a plain text, therefore it cannot be parsed. You should change to
dataType: 'text',
Also, for normal ajax, you need to make sure the url is in the same domain of the webpage, which means the code should reside at http://ulacit3352.cloudapp.net/
as well. Otherwise, you should seek for "jsonp" or (better) some server-side solution, such as setting Access-Control-Allow-Origin
or make your server as a proxy of the request.
The requested url is server on http
which will give rise to This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS
error since the connection is open for eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks. It is better to use https
provided the url accept https
request.
Still there is way to bypass the issue. You can check this LINK
