Javascript cross-domain web request fails with Status=0?
- by Tav
Yes, I know the following code does not work in IE. I know IE expects me to use XDomainRequest() instead. I don't care about that. This is firefox only.
I'm trying to do a cross-domain web request in firefox javascript. I keep getting a status of 0. Does anyone know why?
var url = "http://newyork.craigslist.org";
var xdr = new XMLHttpRequest(); //Yes, I know IE expects XDomainRequest. Don't care
xdr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xdr.readyState == 4) {
alert(xdr.status); //Always returns 0! And xdr.responseText is blank too
}
}
xdr.open("get", url, true);
xdr.send(null);
Shouldn't that work?
