I have created a private app from my store and try to hit https://API_KEY:PASS#STORE_NAME/admin/orders.json URL using ajax and curl. It is working if I use curl but not with ajax. Can anyone explain here what is the issue?
This might be a Cross origin problem. If you are using jQuery try to make an ajax call with dataType set to jsonp as shown here:
$.ajax("url", {
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
}
})
Like the other answer said, it's a cross origin problem (See CORS)
Best way to deal with it normally is Shopify App Proxy, but this isn't available to private apps, only custom apps. Best bet is to build a custom app and authenticate with OAuth2, assuming there's no other reason you've chosen to build a private app instead.
If the nature of your app permits the change to a custom app, the App Proxy will give you a {store-name}.myshopify.com/{resource} end point that will bypass the cross-origin issue, but forward the request to your remote server.
Also, when you're working with JS and something is not working, check the console, and share any errors. No one can really tell you why it's not working without seeing either the code, the error, or both, but this is a common enough stumbling block with AJAX since all this cross-origin security stuff got put into place that I'm 90% sure it's the answer.
My current setup is AngularJS + Django 1.5 and I have completely thrown away the use of Django's template engine (ie. the backend is pretty much an API server).
Since I am not using the csrf_token template tag, Django, in turn, does not set and send the csrftoken cookie in response. As instructed by the official docs, the ensure_csrf_cookie() decorator should be used to force the decorated view to send the csrftoken cookie.
I have applied the ensure_csrf_cookie() decorator to the view, which serves the first GET request that my web client calls at bootstrapping. With that, my web client gets a hold of the CSRF token and henceforth is allowed to call unsafe methods (ex. POST) to the server.
The above setup works fine only if the CSRF token remains the same until the browsing session ends.
Question: Does Django's CSRF token get updated during the course of a browsing session? If 'yes', does that mean I would need to apply the ensure_csrf_cookie() decorator to all the views I have?
1) Does Django's CSRF token get updated during the course of a browsing session?
Looks like the CSRF token is unique per session, but it is based in my observations, I have no "official" source. With Angular.js I use the following code without problems:
angular.module('app', ...)
.config(function($httpProvider) {
var cookies = document.cookie.split(';');
var csrftoken = _.find(cookies, function(v) {
return v.trim().indexOf('csrftoken=') == 0;
});
if(csrftoken) {
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-CSRFToken'] = csrftoken.split('=')[1];
}
})
Since I serve the HTML from Django, by the time Angular bootstraps the cookie is already there.
2) If 'yes', does that mean I would need to apply the ensure_csrf_cookie() decorator to all the views I have?
You can try CORS instead if CSRF. Otto Yiu maintains the django-cors-headers package, which is known to work correctly with REST framework APIs.
Some (untested) ideas to apply ensure_csrf_cookie():
monkey-patch APIView
create a CSRFCookie mixin and add it to your views
apply ensure_csrf_cookie() to your base classes
Giving support to the #Paulo Scardine ideas of applying the ensure_csrf_cookie() (which I consider valid, and useful), I would like to add a new one possible solution to it, if you definitely have to ensure_csrf_cookie() in all your views. You could write a custom middleware, and implement the logic that is there inside the ensure_csrf_cookie. Something like this:
On your app.middleware.py:
from django.middleware.csrf import get_token
class EnsureCsrfCookie(object):
def process_request(self, request):
# Forces process_response to send the cookie
get_token(request)
and of courses on your settings file add the middleware to the MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES:
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
.,
.,
.,
'app.middleware.EnsureCsrfCookie',
.,
.,
.,
)
It is just one idea more to face this problem. I hope it can be useful for somebody in the future.
I am extremely new to using phonegap,codeigniter and jQuery Mobile (My first project) and have currently created an app with jQuery Mobile on the Client side and on the Server side I used the Codeigniter framework to create a RESTful API. Now when I am developing locally the app with in the browser (not yet using phonegap) communicates just fine with the API and no problems occur.
I placed the Codeigniter API on a server yesterday and I am now encountering 2 problems:
The App which was built using jQuery Mobile keeps getting the
following error:
Origin localhost is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
Now I have done some reading up and most people say to use jsonp instead of json and also to use the following on the Server Side:
$CI->output->set_header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
$CI->output->set_header("Access-Control-Expose-Headers: Access-Control-Allow-Origin");
$CI->output->set_status_header(200);
$CI->output->set_content_type('application/json');
Now my problem is I'm not entirely sure which one is used to fix the problem, weather it is both that need to be implemented etc. If they need to be fixed, how is it done? Is there a place that is well documented that can teach me how to deal with this problem, preferably I would like some where to read up on so I can learn?
The second problem is when I place the jQuery Mobile app into
phonegap and build it for Android. The app fails to get the
data from the server. Now is the reason for this because of the cross
domain error above or is this problem different? I also did some
reading up in this section as well and to my Android config.xml I
added the following code:
But I'm I still can't pull anything from the server. Like I said I'm a bit of a newbie but would really appreciate some help in this matter. Also I am aware that I haven't posted code but based on the comments I'll post which ever code the community needs to help solve this problem, just simply specify which code. Thank you for the help in advance!
About the Access-Control-Allow-Origin problem, I faced the same error and solved by placing this line <?php header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); ?> in the index.php which is in the root of the project.
This question hasn't been answered 100% but for now thanks to the help of #Niloy Saha, to fix the Access-Control-Allow-Origin error with with the Codeigniter RESTful frame work simply go to your controller in the Controller folder and right at the top paste;
header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *');
This then should allow you to communicate from the browser to the server and be able to get a response. After a good for hours of trying I managed to fix my problem. With in the Android project in the res/xml folder there is a file called config.xml. In that file be sure to have the following code:
<access origin="http://10.0.2.2*" subdomains="true"/>
and also make sure you have the following:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
in your AndroidManifest.xml. For me that seemed to get everything to work
I did similar thing as yours, Zend FW with API on server and jQuery Mobile App.
I've used JSONP, didn't use any Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers.
I have a method in my controller:
function returnData($data) {
header('Content-type: text/javascript');
echo $_GET['callback']. '('. json_encode($data). ')';
die();
}
At the end of API call i use it to return data.
Getting data in jQuery:
$.ajax({
dataType: "jsonp",
url: url,
data: {someparam: 'value'},
success: function(data) { /* ur data is here */ }
});
What would cause a page to be canceled? I have a screenshot of the Chrome Developer Tools.
This happens often but not every time. It seems like once some other resources are cached, a page refresh will load the LeftPane.aspx. And what's really odd is this only happens in Google Chrome, not Internet Explorer 8. Any ideas why Chrome would cancel a request?
We fought a similar problem where Chrome was canceling requests to load things within frames or iframes, but only intermittently and it seemed dependent on the computer and/or the speed of the internet connection.
This information is a few months out of date, but I built Chromium from scratch, dug through the source to find all the places where requests could get cancelled, and slapped breakpoints on all of them to debug. From memory, the only places where Chrome will cancel a request:
The DOM element that caused the request to be made got deleted (i.e. an IMG is being loaded, but before the load happened, you deleted the IMG node)
You did something that made loading the data unnecessary. (i.e. you started loading a iframe, then changed the src or overwrite the contents)
There are lots of requests going to the same server, and a network problem on earlier requests showed that subsequent requests weren't going to work (DNS lookup error, earlier (same) request resulted e.g. HTTP 400 error code, etc)
In our case we finally traced it down to one frame trying to append HTML to another frame, that sometimes happened before the destination frame even loaded. Once you touch the contents of an iframe, it can no longer load the resource into it (how would it know where to put it?) so it cancels the request.
status=canceled may happen also on ajax requests on JavaScript events:
<script>
$("#call_ajax").on("click", function(event){
$.ajax({
...
});
});
</script>
<button id="call_ajax">call</button>
The event successfully sends the request, but is is canceled then (but processed by the server). The reason is, the elements submit forms on click events, no matter if you make any ajax requests on the same click event.
To prevent request from being cancelled, JavaScript event.preventDefault(); have to be called:
<script>
$("#call_ajax").on("click", function(event){
event.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
...
});
});
</script>
NB: Make sure you don't have any wrapping form elements.
I had a similar issue where my button with onclick={} was wrapped in a form element. When clicking the button the form is also submitted, and that messed it all up...
Another thing to look out for could be the AdBlock extension, or extensions in general.
But "a lot" of people have AdBlock....
To rule out extension(s) open a new tab in incognito making sure that "allow in incognito is off" for the extention(s) you want to test.
In my case, I found that it is jquery global timeout settings, a jquery plugin setup global timeout to 500ms, so that when the request exceed 500ms, chrome will cancel the request.
You might want to check the "X-Frame-Options" header tag. If its set to SAMEORIGIN or DENY then the iFrame insertion will be canceled by Chrome (and other browsers) per the spec.
Also, note that some browsers support the ALLOW-FROM setting but Chrome does not.
To resolve this, you will need to remove the "X-Frame-Options" header tag. This could leave you open to clickjacking attacks so you will need to decide what the risks are and how to mitigate them.
Here's what happened to me: the server was returning a malformed "Location" header for a 302 redirect.
Chrome failed to tell me this, of course. I opened the page in firefox, and immediately discovered the problem.
Nice to have multiple tools :)
Another place we've encountered the (canceled) status is in a particular TLS certificate misconfiguration. If a site such as https://www.example.com is misconfigured such that the certificate does not include the www. but is valid for https://example.com, chrome will cancel this request and automatically redirect to the latter site. This is not the case for Firefox.
Currently valid example: https://www.pthree.org/
A cancelled request happened to me when redirecting between secure and non-secure pages on separate domains within an iframe. The redirected request showed in dev tools as a "cancelled" request.
I have a page with an iframe containing a form hosted by my payment gateway. When the form in the iframe was submitted, the payment gateway would redirect back to a URL on my server. The redirect recently stopped working and ended up as a "cancelled" request instead.
It seems that Chrome (I was using Windows 7 Chrome 30.0.1599.101) no longer allowed a redirect within the iframe to go to a non-secure page on a separate domain. To fix it, I just made sure any redirected requests in the iframe were always sent to secure URLs.
When I created a simpler test page with only an iframe, there was a warning in the console (which I had previous missed or maybe didn't show up):
[Blocked] The page at https://mydomain.com/Payment/EnterDetails ran insecure content from http://mydomain.com/Payment/Success
The redirect turned into a cancelled request in Chrome on PC, Mac and Android. I don't know if it is specific to my website setup (SagePay Low Profile) or if something has changed in Chrome.
Chrome Version 33.0.1750.154 m consistently cancels image loads if I am using the Mobile Emulation pointed at my localhost; specifically with User Agent spoofing on (vs. just Screen settings).
When I turn User Agent spoofing off; image requests aren't canceled, I see the images.
I still don't understand why; in the former case, where the request is cancelled the Request Headers (CAUTION: Provisional headers are shown) have only
Accept
Cache-Control
Pragma
Referer
User-Agent
In the latter case, all of those plus others like:
Cookie
Connection
Host
Accept-Encoding
Accept-Language
Shrug
I got this error in Chrome when I redirected via JavaScript:
<script>
window.location.href = "devhost:88/somepage";
</script>
As you see I forgot the 'http://'. After I added it, it worked.
Here is another case of request being canceled by chrome, which I just encountered, which is not covered by any of answers up there.
In a nutshell
Self-signed certificate not being trusted on my android phone.
Details
We are in development/debug phase. The url is pointing to a self-signed host. The code is like:
location.href = 'https://some.host.com/some/path'
Chrome just canceled the request silently, leaving no clue for newbie to web development like myself to fix the issue. Once I downloaded and installed the certificate using the android phone the issue is gone.
If you use axios it can help you
// change timeout delay:
instance.defaults.timeout = 2500;
https://github.com/axios/axios#config-order-of-precedence
For my case, I had an anchor with click event like
<a href="" onclick="somemethod($index, hour, $event)">
Inside click event I had some network call, Chrome cancelling the request. The anchor has href with "" means, it reloads the page and the same time it has click event with network call that gets cancelled. Whenever i replace the href with void like
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="somemethod($index, hour, $event)">
The problem went away!
If you make use of some Observable-based HTTP requests like those built-in in Angular (2+), then the HTTP request can be canceled when observable gets canceled (common thing when you're using RxJS 6 switchMap operator to combine the streams). In most cases it's enough to use mergeMap operator instead, if you want the request to complete.
I had faced the same issue, somewhere deep in our code we had this pseudocode:
create an iframe
onload of iframe submit a form
After 2 seconds, remove the iframe
thus, when the server takes more than 2 seconds to respond the iframe to which the server was writing the response to, was removed, but the response was still to be written , but there was no iframe to write , thus chrome cancelled the request, thus to avoid this I made sure that the iframe is removed only after the response is over, or you can change the target to "_blank".
Thus one of the reason is:
when the resource(iframe in my case) that you are writing something in, is removed or deleted before you stop writing to it, the request will be cancelled
I have embedded all types of font as well as woff, woff2, ttf when I embed a web font in style sheet. Recently I noticed that Chrome cancels request to ttf and woff when woff2 is present. I use Chrome version 66.0.3359.181 right now but I am not sure when Chrome started canceling of extra font types.
We had this problem having tag <button> in the form, that was supposed to send ajax request from js. But this request was canceled, due to browser, that sends form automatically on any click on button inside the form.
So if you realy want to use button instead of regular div or span on the page, and you want to send form throw js - you should setup a listener with preventDefault function.
e.g.
$('button').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
//do ajax
$.ajax({
...
});
})
I had the exact same thing with two CSS files that were stored in another folder outside my main css folder. I'm using Expression Engine and found that the issue was in the rules in my htaccess file. I just added the folder to one of my conditions and it fixed it. Here's an example:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(images|css|js|new_folder|favicon.ico)
So it might be worth you checking your htaccess file for any potential conflicts
happened to me the same when calling a. js file with $. ajax, and make an ajax request, what I did was call normally.
In my case the code to show e-mail client window caused Chrome to stop loading images:
document.location.href = mailToLink;
moving it to $(window).load(function () {...}) instead of $(function () {...}) helped.
In can this helps anybody I came across the cancelled status when I left out the return false; in the form submit. This caused the ajax send to be immediately followed by the submit action, which overwrote the current page. The code is shown below, with the important return false at the end.
$('form').submit(function() {
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($('form'));
var data = $('form').serialize();
data.__RequestVerificationToken = $('input[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val();
if ($('form').valid()) {
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: 'POST',
data: data,
success: submitSuccess,
fail: submitFailed
});
}
return false; //needed to stop default form submit action
});
Hope that helps someone.
For anyone coming from LoopbackJS and attempting to use the custom stream method like provided in their chart example. I was getting this error using a PersistedModel, switching to a basic Model fixed my issue of the eventsource status cancelling out.
Again, this is specifically for the loopback api. And since this is a top answer and top on google i figured i'de throw this in the mix of answers.
For me 'canceled' status was because the file did not exist. Strange why chrome does not show 404.
It was as simple as an incorrect path for me. I would suggest the first step in debugging would be to see if you can load the file independently of ajax etc.
The requests might have been blocked by a tracking protection plugin.
It happened to me when loading 300 images as background images. I'm guessing once first one timed out, it cancelled all the rest, or reached max concurrent request. need to implement a 5-at-a-time
One the reasons could be that the XMLHttpRequest.abort() was called somewhere in the code, in this case, the request will have the cancelled status in the Chrome Developer tools Network tab.
In my case, it started coming after chrome 76 update.
Due to some issue in my JS code, window.location was getting updated multiple times which resulted in canceling previous request.
Although the issue was present from before, chrome started cancelling request after update to version 76.
I had the same issue when updating a record. Inside the save() i was prepping the rawdata taken from the form to match the database format (doing a lot of mapping of enums values, etc), and this intermittently cancels the put request. i resolved it by taking out the data prepping from the save() and creating a dedicated dataPrep() method out of it. I turned this dataPrep into async and await all the memory intensive data conversion. I then return the prepped data to the save() method that i could use in the http put client. I made sure i await on dataPrep() before calling the put method:
await dataToUpdate = await dataPrep();
http.put(apiUrl, dataToUpdate);
This solved the intermittent cancelling of request.
