jQuery ajax() Call Failing - ajax

I am writing a web-based application that makes a call to server to update a particular object in the server, from a REST-ful application.
This is the javascript code that I have written.
var sendUrl = url + "v1/items/" + itmId;
$.ajax({
"type": "PUT",
"url": sendUrl,
//"data": {"name": nameVal, "description": descVal},
"success": function() {
alert('hai'); //refreshItems();
},
"complete": function (jqXHR, textStatus) {
alert (textStatus);
}
});
When this code is executed, the server did not receive any request. The browser did not show any update.
I am using Google Chrome as my browser. So, I looked into Chrome's Javascript Console, the console showed this error:
Are there any possible solutions to this problem?
Edit:
As suggested in one of the comments, I tried looking into Network Panel. It seems it is not making a call to Server.
This is the screenshot of this particular request:
The image is very small. The status is "(failed)" and Type is Pending
If Server does not have PUT configured, it would result in an Internal Server Error. So, that is not happening here.
Edit
After trying the suggestion given in the answer,
This is the code:
var sendUrl = url + "v1/items/" + itmId;
$.ajax({
"type": "PUT",
"url": sendUrl,
//"data": {"name": nameVal, "description": descVal},
}).done(function ( ) {
alert('OK');
}).fail(function ( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {
console.log(jqXHR);
console.log(textStatus);
console.log(errorThrown);
});
Here are the objects that has been logged:

Docs for jquery Ajax function
W3 specs regarding http/1.1 status codes
First, as stated in the jQuery documentation
Deprecation Notice: The jqXHR.success(), jqXHR.error(), and
jqXHR.complete() callbacks are deprecated as of jQuery 1.8. To prepare
your code for their eventual removal, use jqXHR.done(), jqXHR.fail(),
and jqXHR.always() instead.
Also, the fail function accepts the following parameters:
jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown
Since you're getting an error try the following code:
var sendUrl = url + "v1/items/" + itmId;
$.ajax({
"type": "PUT",
"url": sendUrl,
//"data": {"name": nameVal, "description": descVal},
}).done(function ( ) {
alert('OK');
}).fail(function ( jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown ) {
console.log(jqXHR);
console.log(textStatus);
console.log(errorThrown);
});
This should output to the console usefull information about why the ajax call is not working.
If your webservice is working correctly, it should return a http status code. Here are some common response codes:
200 OK -> Everything is ok (it worked)
201 Created -> Ok too
400 Bad Request
401 Unauthorized
404 Not found
So, basically, the response you get should reflect why it's not working

Shelly - ajax api call return always error

I've developed a graphich interface for check all smart device in my home, but when I try to make a ajax call to shelly api for check the device status I get always error. If I utilize postman I able get the json result, but when make the same call in ajax not.
I use jquery 3.6.1 version and the authentication in my device is disabled.
The documentation is: https://shelly-api-docs.shelly.cloud/gen1/#shelly-motion-2
Can you help me?
The ajax call with postman:
This is my code:
function getMovementStatus(obj) {
//http://192.168.68.103/status
var url = protocol + '://' + obj.ip + '/status';
var settings = {
"url": url,
"method": "GET",
"timeout": 0,
"contentType": 'application/json'
};
$.ajax(settings)
.done(function (response) {
console.log(response);
})
.fail(function (request, error) {
console.log(error);
});
}
Where does the protocol field coming from? I don't see any declaration for the protocol field in the code.
Add this line to your ajax function and try -
var protocol = 'http'

Web Core API Post request get blocked, sometimes

I have this AJAX call to my Web Core API;
saveProperty = function (url, data, callback, errorCallback) {
$.ajax({
async: true,
type: "Post",
url: url,
data: data,
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "text"
})
.done(callback)
//.fail(errorCallback);
.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Something went wrong: " + textStatus + " " + errorThrown);
errorCallback();
});
}
Sometimes it works, more often it does not.
When I use Fiddler and it works, I see
And when it doesn't I see;
EDIT - I can be more helpful now in describing this problem.
if I have Fiddler up and running before I lanch the aplication in development, I do not get this bug.
Otherwise I do get this bug.
Why is that? I would love to know.
The error is HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized
Why would this happen with the same code?

Returning Json from controller, never a success

I'm successfully posting to my controller with the following code, however, success is never being hit only error. What am I doing wrong?
JS:
$.ajax({
url: '/Home/Subscribe',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
data: { email: $('#sube').val() },
success: function (data) {
// get the result and do some magic with it
alert(data.foo);
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(textStatus);
}
});
Controller:
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult Subscribe(string email)
{
return Json(new { foo = "bar", baz = "Blech" });
}
In IE, press F12 to open developer tools. Go to Network tab and click on Start Profiler. Send a request to your Subscribe action - in a list below you will see details of sent request and returned status code. Double click on request to see details - you can then see body of your response. If the request failed with a server error, you will see that error in a body of your response.
One wrong thing I see with your code is that you have hardcoded the url:
url: '/Home/Subscribe'
You should never do this. You should always use url helpers when generating urls in an ASP.NET MVC application:
url: '#Url.Action("Subscribe", "Home")'
Also you are saying that the error callback is always hit but you didn't say what you observed in FireBug or Chrome Developer toolbar when you tried to analyze the AJAX request. If you had done this you would have seen the exact cause of failure for the request because you would have seen what request is sent to the server and what response does the server sends back to the client.
The following is my jQuery ajax snippet that works. Your controller looks right. I assume you have verified it is actually getting called by using a breakpoint.
var p = {
email: $('#sube').val()
};
$.ajax({
url: '#Url.Action("Subscribe", "Home")'
type: 'POST',
data: JSON.stringify(p),
dataType: "text json",
contentType: "application/json",
success: function (data) {
// get the result and do some magic with it
alert(data.foo);
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(textStatus);
}
});

help debugging an ajax problem

Anyone have any idea why this isn't working?
$(function(){
console.log('ready');
$.ajax({
dataType : 'jsonp',
jsonp : 'js',
url : 'http://monitor.302br.net/MonitorScoreServlet',
beforeSend : function(jqXHR, settings) {
console.info('in beforeSend');
console.log(jqXHR, settings);
},
error : function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.info('in error');
console.log(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown);
},
complete : function(jqXHR, textStatus) {
console.info('in complete');
console.log(jqXHR, textStatus);
},
success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR){
console.info('in success');
console.log(data, textStatus, jqXHR);
}
});
});
This was working till recently. The beforeSend handler never fires, but you can see the ajax call being made in firebug, and if you go to the url, it seems to return acceptably formatted results (the same results as before):
http://monitor.302br.net/MonitorScoreServlet?js=jsonp1298046640938
text/javascript:
(84.3);
If I comment out the url, the beforeSend fires, but of course, there's no url....
Any ideas?
AJAX requests are, by definition, restricted to your current domain. Therefore, you cannot request an external URL from your domain.
Ok, I feel dumb. Here's what I think happened: the server used to be set up to take the js param as a callback function. So a url like:
http://monitor.302br.net/MonitorScoreServlet?js=foo
would result in:
foo(84.1);
Whenever we looked in the browser, we were just looking at:
http://monitor.302br.net/MonitorScoreServlet?js
which resulted in:
(84.1);
I assumed jQuery was doing some magic with that to turn it into usable data, but now I think that jQuery was creating something like:
function jsonp1298047240882(data) {
// do something with data
}
So when we changed our back-end code not to create the callback function call, the whole thing stopped working. (It's still weird that the beforeSend handler never gets called, though.)

Check status of a jQuery ajax request

It seems that the success, error, and complete callbacks only fire when the ajax request is able to get some response from the server.
So if I shut down the server the following error callback is not executed and the request fails silently.
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:3000/",
dataType: "script",
success: function() {
alert("success");
},
error: function() {
alert("error");
}
});
What's the best way to throw an error when the server can't be reached at all.
Edit - From what I've tried and read it appears that jQuery's built in error handling doesn't work with JSONP, or dataType: "script". So I'm going to try setting a manual timeout.
Edit - Did a little more research and it looks like not only does the ajax error callback not work, but you can't abort an ajax request with dataType script or jsonp, and those requests ignore the timeout setting.
There is an alternative - the jquery-jsonp plugin, but it uses hidden iframes which I'd rather avoid. So I've settled on creating a manual timeout as suggested below. You can't abort the request if it times out, which means the script may still load even after the timeout, but at least something will fire if the server is unavailable.
You can use a setTimeout, and clear it with clearTimeout in the complete handler.
var reqTimeout = setTimeout(function()
{
alert("Request timed out.");
}, 5000);
var xhr = $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:3000/",
dataType: "script",
success: function() {
alert("success");
},
error: function() {
alert("error");
},
complete: function() {
clearTimeout(reqTimeout);
}
});
jQuery.ajax already has a timeout preference and it should call your error handler should the request time out. Check out the fantastic documentation which says — I’d quote it here, emphasis mine:
timeoutNumber
Set a local timeout (in milliseconds) for the request…
and:
error (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) Function
A function to be called if the request fails. The function is passed three arguments: The XMLHttpRequest object, a string describing the type of error that occurred and an optional exception object, if one occurred. Possible values for the second argument (besides null) are "timeout", "error", "notmodified" and "parsererror". This is an Ajax Event.
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorthrown) {
if (jqXHR.readyState == 0) {
//Network error, i.e. server stopped, timeout, connection refused, CORS, etc.
}
else if (jqXHR.readyState == 4) {
//HTTP error, i.e. 404 Not found, Internal Server 500, etc.
}
}
Use readyState of XMLHttpRequest to determine the status of the ajax request.
'readyState' holds the status of the XMLHttpRequest.
0: request not initialized
1: server connection established
2: request received
3: processing request
4: request finished and response is ready
If I remember correctly, jQuery throws exceptions. Thus, you should be able to work with a try { ... } catch() { ... } and handle it there.
You can use Jquery's AjaxSetup to handle your error handling.
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:3000/",
dataType: "script",
success: function () {
alert("success");
}, error: function () {
alert("error");
}
//AJAX SETUP "error"//
$.ajaxSetup({
"error": function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(XMLHttpRequest + ' ' + textStatus + ' ' + errorThrown); //however you want
}
});
in ie8,can use:
success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) {
if("success"==textStatus&&XMLHttpRequest){
alert("success");
}else{
alert("server down");
}
}
but it's can't work on chrome,firefox...
