I have a webservice sitting on my https server that accepts the POST verb and responds with some JSON. If I build a simple html form like
<form method="post" action="https://myserver.com/myWS";> <input type="submit"/> <input type="hidden" name="emailAddress" value="a...@a.com" /> <input type="hidden" name="password" value="uk" /> </form> it will return the correct json data, with content type "application/ json", and the browser will ask to save the result. When I look at the data it is 100% correct if I try to access it with jquery using $.post("https://myserver.com/myWS";, { emailAddress: "a...@a.com", password: "uk" }, function(data) { alert("hi!"); }, "json"); the call back will never execute. When I check firebug, in the net panel, I can see the call go out (first the OPTIONS call which completes successfully, then the POST) however I cannot view the actual results. In the Console panel, the call is in red so firebug thinks there is some kind of error. Is there something I'm missing with how to handle cross domain POSTs that return json data?
