I'm having issues with using $http on ie8. The request does not reach the server, until I hit a refresh. Coming back to the same link still has the same problem until I hit refresh again.
The weird thing is if the web server is on LAN and the request is made to a server in LAN, it works fine. But if the webserver is hosted remotely, it does not work!
Here is the code:
Index.html
{{test}}
Controller
app.controller(
"TestController",
function( $scope, $http) {
var url = '/test/get_data';
$http.get(url).success(function(data) {
$scope.test = data;
});
}
);
I got this error: TypeError: Object doesn't support this property or methodundefined
I prepared a JSFiddle earlier but JSFiddle is broken in ie8 so I don't provide it here.
Unfortunately I don't have a remote server that I can share with you.
Edit
Previously I used an external url which gave me 'Access Denied' error in ie because of Same Origin Policy as mentioned by one answer below. But this was not my original problem. I still have the issue above when request is from the same origin
This is a cross domain request, which is not allowed in ajax because of Same Origin Policy.
There are two solutions for this
1. JSONP: It is a cross browser way to handle cross domain ajax requests using javascript callback mechanism
2. CORS: It is a HTML5 standard, it is implemented by most of the modern browsers except IE
Mongodb lab is not supporting jsonp since it has support for CORS, that is why your request is failing in IE and works in Chrome and other browsers.
As per this post they do not have any plan to support jsonp, so I don't thick there is a way to make this work in IE.
So I found the fix... Hope this helps anyone out there that experience this problem
Angular script needs to be loaded after jQuery. I didn't have this because Yii framework that I use autoloads jQuery and the angular was not included after the jQuery.
All the controller functions need to be at the end of body section (just before the closing )
Updating to angular 1.0.5 seems to fix the problem. The problem occurred in 1.0.4 with all the above tricks. I think is related to fix 791804bd
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.
I am using the Prototype JS framework to do Ajax calls. Here is my code:
new Ajax.Request( '/myurl.php', {method: 'post', postBody: 'id='+id+'&v='+foo, onSuccess: success, onFailure: failed} );
function success(ret) {
console.log("success",ret.readyState, ret.status);
}
function failed(ret) {
console.log("failed",ret.readyState, ret.status);
}
Most of the time, this works fine and the success function is called with a status code of 200. About 5% of the time on Safari the success function is called with a status code of 0. In this case, when I look in the Network tab of the web inspector, the ajax call is listed with a status of "canceled". I can confirm with server logs, that the request never hit the server. It's as if the ajax request was immediately canceled without even trying to connect to the server. I have not found any reliable way to reproduce this, it seems to be random. I do it 20 times and it happens once.
Does anyone know what would cause the ajax call to get canceled or return a status code of 0?
The cause may be the combination of http server and browser you are using. It doesn't seems like an error of the PrototypeJS library.
Multiple sources states that keep-alive parameter of the HTTP connection seems to be broken in Safari (see here, here or here). On Apache, they recommend adding this to the configuration:
BrowserMatch "Safari" nokeepalive
(Please check the appropriate syntax in your server documentation).
If Safari handles badly HTTP persistent connections with your server, it may explain what you experiences.
If it's not too complex for you, I would try another HTTP server, there are plenty available on every OS.
We lack a bit of information to answer fully your answer, though. The server issue is a lead but there may be others. It would be nice to know if it does the same thing in other browsers (Firefox with Firebug will display this kind of information, Chrome, Opera and IE have development builtin toolboxes). Another valid question would be how often you execute this AJAX request per second (if relevant).
I know this is an old topic, but I wanted to share a solution for Safari that might save others some time. The following line really solved all problems:
BrowserMatch "^(?=.*Safari)(?=.*Macintosh)(?!.*Chrom).*" nokeepalive gzip-only-text/html
The regex makes sure only Safari on Mac is detected, and not Mobile Safari and Chrome(ium) and such. Safari for Windows is also not matched, but the keepalive problem seems to be a Mac-Safari combination only. In addition, some Safari versions do not handle gzipped css/js well.
All our symptoms of our site crashing or CSS not completley loading in different versions of Safari which caused me to nearly pull my hair out (Safari really is the new IE) have been solved for us with this Apache 'configuration hack'.
I've a couple of problems debugging code returned in an Ajax call - specifically, a function returned in json (errors don't get trapped in Firefox) - up to the point where I started debugging these problems in Internet Explorer (I think it's a firefox related problem, as Venkman doesn't detects those errors either) Do you know of any way to debug code returned in json from an Ajax call?
EDITED 03/04/2009 15:05
Thanks to all for your responses, but I think I didn't explain myself well enough. I know enough of Firebug to do basic debugging, but my problem happens when I fetch some code in an Ajax call that has a problem with it. Let's say we have the following HTML file (you'll need prototype in the same folder to make it work correctly):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="prototype.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
function ajaxErrorTest()
{
new Ajax.Request('data.json', {
'method': 'get',
'onSuccess': function(data){
if(data.responseJSON.func)
data.responseJSON.func();}});
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="test" onclick="ajaxErrorTest();" />
</body>
</html>
and then, the contents of the data.json file is this:
{'func':function(){console.log('loaded...');alert('hey');}}
If you load the page in a browser and click the 'Test' button (and everything goes well) you'll get something in the console, and an alert box that says 'hey'. Now change the data.json file to this:
{'func':function(){console.log('loaded...');alerts('hey');}}
...and click the 'Test' button again (no need to reload the page ;-)
You get the console line, but no alert box... and no errors!!! this is the kind of errors I'm trying to debug.
Try clicking on the "Console" panel (it's a tab) and enabling it. You will find that any HTTP requests will be caught along with any information that they contain. I use this in order to view any JSON stored in the request as well as any errors (500/404/etc).
Also be aware that you have to enable the console panel on a per-domain basis. There are usually three subtabs: headers, post, and response. I usually use the post/response tabs quite a bit when I'm debugging my AJAX.
You probably want to use the Net tab and filter the requests for XMLHttpRequests (XHR) only.
Additional tips:
don't hesitate to console.dir(yourObject) in your code or directly in the console panel. This will give you the complete state and properties of your object.
check your request/response HTTP headers; sometimes it's just a matter of encoding.
if you don't know what event/user action triggered this XHR call, you can add console.trace() right before your AJAX call. This way you'll get the complete call stack.
Edit:
Code executed in another context
The only way I came up with is surrounding your code with an (ugly) try/catch.
I guess it's because the code is executed in another javascript context
<script>
function ajaxErrorTest()
{
new Ajax.Request('data.json', {
'method': 'get',
'onSuccess': function(data){
try{
if(data.responseJSON.func)
data.responseJSON.func();}});
} catch (err) {
console.dir(err);
}
}
</script>
This code gives a detailed error message:
ReferenceError: alerts is not defined
I really doubt changing the execution context will solve the problem.
I don't know how to this with prototype, but with jquery, it can be done easily:
$.ajax({
url: "test.html",
context: document.body,
success: function(){
$(this).addClass("done");
}
});
I'm not sure this issue involves the actual JSON that is retrieved. Can you try throwing an error directly in your onSuccess handler and see if it appears in the Firebug console? Something like this:
onSuccess: function() { alerts('hey'); }
If this is the case, then this issue should be fixed in Firebug 1.7.
I would use a combination of the net/console tabs in firefox.
Copy the json results from the Net Tab in Firefox.
Then paste the results into a variable in the console and try executing the offending function.
In this case, I pasted this:
var x = {'func':function(){console.log('loaded...');alerts('hey');}}
x.func();
When I run this, firebug gives me this error.
ReferenceError: alerts is not defined
As others have mentioned, view the JSON/Javascript returned by expanding the AJAX URL in the Console tab.
Then if you copy that to the run/eval panel of the Console tab (there's an up/down arrow in the bottom right, clicking the up will change it into a textarea on the right hand side, clicking down gives a single line running along the bottom).
If your Ajax call returns: function(){alert("hello")}
Then you can use something like the following:
x = eval('function(){alert("hello")}')
x();
This will allow you to execute the returned ajax.
To debug with breakpoints use the HTML view to create a tag (using Firebug's HTML view) and then simply paste the code into a function within this tag. You can then set breakpoints and fire it by calling the previous function from the run'/eval panel.
If this works fine then clearly there's a bug outside of your control, but you could simply workaround that by sending the json back as text/plain, assigning it to a variable and then evaluating it.
This one is simple, i allways use FIDDLER
to debug my ajax calls.
Fiddler is a Web Debugging Proxy which
logs all HTTP(S) traffic between your
computer and the Internet. Fiddler
allows you to inspect all HTTP(S)
traffic, set breakpoints, and "fiddle"
with incoming or outgoing data.
Fiddler includes a powerful
event-based scripting subsystem, and
can be extended using any .NET
language.
I use an HTTP Proxy Debugger called fiddler which has always worked fine for debugging my AJAX problems. It captures all HTTP requests and responses for you to view. Its freely available from http://www.fiddlertool.com/
the error you are trying to debug is pretty visible on native firefox console. it is: "tools" - "error console"
of course, you see it after it ocurrs but with an wrong line number (infinite resemblance)
I know the specific issue mentioned in the post is for firefox. I landed on this page when googling for generally how to debug java script that comes from an AJAX call and I'm sure a lot of others will.
I my case I was returning some HTML that had a script tag in it, if there was for example, a sytax error in the javascript that came down from the AJAX request in firebug you will get no exception, or errors. The AJAX content will just not render.
In the google chrome built debugger you'll get the error that has been raised, but you'll not be able to step through the code. If you wan't to step though then you'll need to make a dummy page for that.
Thats the best I've been able to get it so far.
When you use a library or javascript code that you have loaded it dynamically, you can use the phrase //# sourceURL=foo.js at the beginning of your javascript code that foo.js is the name that assign it. debugger will show it with that name.
This is true in chrome that I think in firebug.
In this case you can place a breakpoint in the dynamically loaded javascript ( or json ) code.
Use "debbuger;" as line of code where you wanna stop execution. In this way the loaded source code will be available in the source section of your debbuger. I know for sure it works on chrome.
