Permission Denied Error XMLHttpRequest

Answer 1

Since you're setting Content-type, you need to also set it to use UTF-8. And I think it's supposed to be application/xml (source).

xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml; charset=utf-8");

Otherwise, have you verified that the XML is properly formatted? Try saving it as a complete XML file and open it in your browser.

Answer 3

XmlHttpRequest can only be used to call services local to the domain/server from where the page is being served.

Thus, if you're serving a page from:

http://www.example.com/page1

You cannot make an XmlHttpRequest to:

http://www.sample.com/webservice
