I wrote a Flickr search engine that makes a call to either a public feed or a FlickrApi depending on a selected drop down box. examples of the JSONP function calls that are returned:
a) jsonFlickrApi({"photos":{"page":1, "pages":201, "perpage":100, "total":"20042", "photo":[{"id":"5101738723"...
b) jsonFlickrFeed({ "title": "Recent Uploads tagged red","link": "http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/red/","description": "", ....
the strange thing is that in my local install (xampp
) both work fine and i get images back BUT when i host the exact same code on the above domain then the jsonFlickrApi
doesn't work. What i notice (by looking at Firebug) is that for the jsonFlickrApi
the response Header says Connection close
Also, Firebug doesn't show me a Response
tab when i submit a request to the jsonFlickrApi
here is the code:
function makeCall(uri)
{
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = callback;
xmlhttp.open("GET", "jsonget.php?url="+uri, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
function jsonFlickrApi(response)
{
var data= response.photos.photo ;
var output = "";
output += "<img src=http://farm" + data[4].farm + ".static.flickr.com/" + data[1].server + "/" + data[4].id + "_" + data[4].secret + ".jpg>";
document.getElementById("cell-0").innerHTML = output ;
}
//Public Feed
function jsonFlickrFeed(response)
{
var data= response.items[0].media.m ;
alert(data);
var output = "";
output += "<img src=" + data+ ">";
document.getElementById("cell-0").innerHTML = output ;
}
function callback()
{
//console.log("Ready State: " + xmlhttp.readyState + "
Status" + xmlhttp.status);
if(xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
var jsonResponse = xmlhttp.responseText;
jsonResponse = eval(jsonResponse);
}
}
examples of calls:
a)
http://flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=75564008a468bf8a284dc94bbd176dd8&tags=red&content_type=1&is_getty=true&text=red&format=json×tamp=1339189838017
b)
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=red&format=json×tamp=1339190039407
Question: why does my connection close? why is it working on localhost and not on the actual domain?
Looking at the HTTP response headers of
I get a 302 with location
So, what flicker wants to tell you is "use www.flicker.com instead of flicker.com!". With this URL I get content.
