XMLHttpRequest Origin is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin

Question

I\'m trying to fetch some simple text over HTTP from JavaScript:

$(function() {
    $.get(\"http://mydomain.com/path\", function(result) {
        console.lo         


        

Answer 1

You've simply gotta use either PHP/ASP your serverside language to retrieve the cross-domain request or use a service such as a cross domain ajax service created by Yahoo!.

It uses JSONP which is allowed to do very strict cross-domain requests, but asking from Yahoo! they will retrieve any page on the internet.

Answer 2

You can't request that page because of Same Origin Policy unless that page has explicitly allowed you with CORS.

Either proxy it server side, with a service such as YQL, get it as JSONP or get the other service to enable CORS for your domain.
