JSONP web service with python

Question

I\'m writing an AJAX function that requests data from my JSON Python webservice. My AJAX request looks like:

  url = \"http://localhost:8001/blah\"
  $.aja         


        

Answer 1

What happens when you use Jquery's JSONP datatype, is that a callback function name is sent as a GET param as part of your URL, so you're actually querying something like "http://localhost:8001/blah?callback=json125348274839".

Your response from your web server should look like this:

    return "%s({'a':1, 'b':2 })" % _GET_PARAMS('callback')

so your web server will return somthing like "json125348274839({'a':1, 'b':2 })"

Hope that helps!
