I want to retrieve some data using $.ajax from the external ASP.NET MVC site (in this case - from my site). The code below geive me a 404 Not Found error (of course the url is valid.
But, if I change the url from url: 'http://myurl.com/Home/GetMyCode/?id=mycode' to url: 'http://localhost:123/Home/GetMyCode/?id=mycode' everything is fine. So, how to fix it ?
$.ajax({
url: 'http://myurl.com/Home/GetMyCode/?id=mycode',
type: 'POST',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
crossDomain: true,
success: function (res) {
...
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
...
}
});
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult GetMyCode(string id)
{
try
{
return Json(new { result = "ok", resultData = "OK") });
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return Json(new { result = "error", resultData = "An error occured" });
}
}
Looks like it might be a DNS issue. Are you able to get to: http://myurl.com ?
Is the .com domain you are trying to access publicly accessible? Or is it a loopback to localhost?
In order to retrieve data crossdomain, you probably need to use 'jsonp'
Two Methods for Handling Cross-Domain Ajax Calls:
JSONP: The Current Standard for Cross-Domain Access
JSONP is a convention used by some sites to expose their content in a way that makes it easier for callers to consume data via script, even from an external domain. The trick consists in having the site return some JSON content not as a plain string but wrapped up in a script function call. For more details..
Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS)
To enable cross-domain requests in environments that do not support cors yet but do allow cross-domain XHR requests (windows gadget, etc), set $.support.cors = true; You just tell jQuery that you're in an environment where Cross-Domain XHR requests are possible.
that tutorial worked for me, I had to implement the JSONP handling in my MVC project. http://www.codeguru.com/csharp/.net/net_asp/using-jsonp-in-asp.net-mvc.htm
