Gravatar VS JQuery Ajax... help? - ajax

I want to include a function on my page, that checks whether the user has a Gravatar account with their email. If yes, they should have that picture displayed, if not they should be given other options.
I'm trying to do this as follows:
$.ajax({
url: 'https://secure.gravatar.com/' + md5(user.email) + '.json',
method: 'GET',
timeout: 4000,
success: function successFn() {
doGravatarStuff();
},
error: function errorFn(response, status, error) {
console.log(response.status); //debug
}
});
This always returns an error status of 0 on Internet Explorer and I can't seem to figure out why. I tried changing the 'dataType' to 'json', 'html' etc but that doesn't seem to help.
Also, and maybe that is a related problem, if I test this on FF or Crome, with a user that really doesn't have an account, it returns a 404-error according to the 'net' tab readout
404 Not Found 649ms
but 'response.status' still seems to be 0
Any ideas anyone? Thanks so much in advance!!

Normally cross-domain AJAX requests are denied because it's a security thing. See this blog article: http://bob.pythonmac.org/archives/2005/12/05/remote-json-jsonp/
Did you try the jsonp dataType? I use jsonp when I access twitter's tweet json feed.
Example:
var urls = "http://twitter.com/status/user_timeline/" + username + ".json?count=" + pageSize + "&page=" + currentPage;
$.ajax({
beforeSend: function () {
$("#ajax-load").fadeIn()
},
url: urls,
cache: true,
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: twitterCallback2
});
};

Jquery AJAX call requires authentification

I'm trying to use the google chart api in an XPages application.
I'm using the code example given by the documentation : https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/php_example#exampleusingphphtml-file
I have to replace the call to the php page by a call to an LS agent.
var jsonData = $.ajax({
url: "getData.php",
dataType: "json",
async: false
}).responseText;
So my code goes to :
var jsonData = $.ajax({
url: "http://server/database/agent?openagent",
dataType: "json",
async: false
}).responseText;
On my local domino server, it works fine.
On the production domino server, I get nothing. The chart is not drawn. After debugging the js client side, it seems the ajax call is expecting an authentification even if I had to log in before.
The anonymous access is not allowed on both servers.
The security level seems to be same on both environments
Any help will be welcome (or any other way to proceed if I'm wrong).
Thank you
If you are able to draw the google chart in your local server, but not in production server, this means it is your server issue.
You can add authentication header in your jquery ajax call to make authenticated ajax request
$.ajax({
headers: {
"Authorization": "Bearer <TOKEN HERE>"
}
})
You can also send username and password in jquery ajax call, to make authenticated request. Here is the sample code from the link
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'url',
dataType: 'json',
//whatever you need
beforeSend: function (xhr) {
xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization', make_base_auth(user, password));
},
success: function () {});
});
function make_base_auth(user, password) {
var tok = user + ':' + password;
var hash = btoa(tok);
return 'Basic ' + hash;
}
at the end, I tried to run the ajax request through dojo instead of Jquery.
My codes became this one :
var jsonData = dojo.xhrGet({
url: "http://server/database/agent?openagent",
handleAs:"json",
...
})
I did no changes at the security level or anything else.
I do not understand why the jquery syntax is not working as well the dojo syntax.
anyway, it is working now.
Many thanks to all for your suggestions

Posting to Facebook app group via ajax is failing silently

Thank you in advance for any assistance you maybe able to provide. I'm trying to post from my app to an app group that I have created. Using the code below it completes the request successfully but the data returned is empty. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I did also notice that it's not performing a POST but rather a GET.
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'https://graph.facebook.com/v2.1/'+g_id+'/feed?access_token='+User["User AccessToken"],
data: JSON.stringify({
message: g_mes
}),
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
},
error: function(data1){
console.log(data1);
}
})
You really should use the JavaScript SDK for the API. Here is a basic tutorial: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/quickstart/v2.1
And this is what the API call would look like:
FB.api('/' + g_id + '/feed', 'post', {message: g_mes}, function(response) {
console.log(response);
});
See Facebook docs for a code example too: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2.1/group/feed
You donĀ“t even need to worry about the Access Token. You just need to use FB.login with the appropriate permissions in the scope parameter to authorize the user.

How to show AJAX response message in alert?

I am sending username and password as request parameter to the server in AJAX and trying to show the response message. But not able to showing the response message.In fiddler it is showing the response message. But while on the browser screen it is not showing.PLEASE somebody help me out where i am wrong or need to change anything..
I have written like this-
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnCity").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://test.xyz.com/login",
crossDomain: true,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: { username: "abc", password: "1234" },
dataType: "JSONP",
jsonpCallback: 'jsonCallback',
async: false,
success: function (resdata) {
alert(resdata);
},
error: function (result, status, err) {
alert(result.responseText);
alert(status.responseText);
alert(err.Message);
}
});
});
});
TL;DR: I guess the problem is on the server side of your code (that we don't know yet).
At first: I don't know why it fails for you. I've taken your code and ran it against a public available JSONP API, that returns the current IP of your system and it worked.
Please try yourself using the URL: http://ip.jsontest.com/.
So most probably, the server doesn't return the right response to the JSONP request. Have a look at the network tab in developer tools. With your current code, the answer of the server should be something like:
jsonCallback({'someResponseKeys': 'someResponseValue'});
Note: The header should contain Content-Type:application/javascript!
BTW, even if this doesn't for now solve your problem - here are some tweaks, I'd like to advice to you:
Don't set async to false, at the documentation of jQuery.ajax() says:
Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous
operation.
You don't need to set a jsonpCallback, because jQuery will generate and handle (using the success function a random one for you. Quote from the docs:
This value will be used instead of the random name automatically generated by jQuery. It is preferable to let jQuery generate a unique name as it'll make it easier to manage the requests and provide callbacks and error handling.
So here comes my code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnCity").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://ip.jsontest.com/",
crossDomain: true,
data: { username: "abc", password: "1234" },
dataType: "JSONP",
success: function (resdata) {
console.log("success", resdata);
},
error: function (result, status, err) {
console.log("error", result.responseText);
console.log("error", status.responseText);
console.log("error", err.Message);
}
});
});
});
A working example can be found here.
Another solution, like Yonatan Ayalon suggested, can be done with a predefined function and then setting the jsonpCallback explicitly to the function that should be called.
if you see the response in Fiddler, it seems that the issue is in the callback function.
you are doing a jsonP call - which means that you need a callback function to "read" the response data.
Do you have a local function that calls "jsonCallback"?
this is a simple jsonP request, which initiates the function "gotBack()" with the response data:
function gotBack(data) {
console.log(data);
}
$.ajax({
url: 'http://test.xyz.com/login' + '?callback=?',
type: "POST",
data: formData,
dataType: "jsonp",
jsonpCallback: "gotBack"
});
You can try with the following methods and close every instance of chrome browser in task manager, then open browser in web security disable mode by the command "chrome.exe --disable-web-security"
success: function (resdata) {
alert(resdata);
alert(JSON.stringify(resdata));
},
And the better option to debug the code using "debugger;"
success: function (resdata) {
debugger;
alert(resdata);
alert(JSON.stringify(resdata));
},

JQuery Ajax call often not working on Safari 6

My Ajax call is really simple as below:
function ajax(reqUrl, params , callback) {
console.log("Request URL "+reqUrl);
var cond;
cond = $.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: reqUrl,
data: params,
error:function(){ alert("some error occurred") },
success: callback
});
console.log("Server response "+cond.readyState);
}
// Call it as
var url = "/getResult";
var params = {};
params.param1 = "test1";
params.param2 = "test2";
ajax(url, params, function(returnCallback) {
console.log(returnCallback);
alert("Success");
});
That works fine in most cases. But sometimes (about 1 times in 3) it doesn't return anything to callback.
I found many questions and answers for Not working ajax in Safari but fine in chrome and FireFox. My problem is different from them, because it's fine most of the time (I don't mean it was not fine usually because when I refresh my browser, that may cause my ajax call to work).
My main question is why does my ajax call sometimes fail? I don't get any errors on my JS console. When this situation, I refresh my browser to get my ajax call to. Any Ideas?
Update:
I found that sometimes my ajax call method didn't call out because console.log("Request URL "+reqUrl); did not execute. When I don't want to refresh my browser, I clicked many times on my page's link to produce result. will something late to execute?
Finally, I found error .. Safari doesn't reload my JavaScript files again even disable Cache. So I put all of my JS code into:
$(document).ready(function(){
// start load my js functions
init();
});
to reload my JS files when my page was ready. Cheer !
I also met this problem.
When I moved all code into $(function() {}), it worked.
After that, I found I had defined a variable named key, which caused the problem.
Just rename it, all things will be running.
This seems to be a Safari issue. In this post there is a suggestion to add a beforeSend to your ajax-request.
In your case:
cond = $.ajax({
type: 'post',
url: reqUrl,
data: params,
beforeSend: function (event, files, index, xhr, handler, callBack) {
$.ajax({
async: false,
url: 'closeconnection.php' // add path
});
},
error:function(){ alert("some error occurred") },
success: callback
});
Please Test below Code. it is working fine.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url:'#Url.Action("getResult","Controller")',
data: "{userName :'" + userName + "',password :'" + password + "' }",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "html",
success: function (data) {
alert("here" + data.toString());
});
This is use for MVC application.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url:'getResult',
data: "{userName :'" + userName + "',password :'" + password + "' }",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert("here" + data.toString());
});
For Asp.net Application :
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url:'getResult',
data: "{userName :'" + userName + "',password :'" + password + "' }",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert("here" + data.toString());
});
if u have still the issue than please post ur complete code here. i will test and reply soon

Jquery AJAX for fetching JSON, affected by URL prefix (www vs. no www)?

I have come across a peculiar item in JQuery that I am hoping somebody can help me to understand.
I've spent much of the day trying to get JQUERY's AJAX 'success' function to be raised when returning JSON from the server.
I checked the JSON # JSONLint to ensure validity, checked encoding, tried different headers, but still PROBLEMS.
After a couple hours, I switched the url (by accident!)
from
http//www.testing.com/_r4444/myfile.php
to the exact same thing WITHOUT the www... and it suddenly worked.
I have no clue why this would be the case - any ideas?
the snippet follows
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax( {
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json",
url: "http://testing.com/_r4444/getter.php",
beforeSend: function(x) {
if(x && x.overrideMimeType) x.overrideMimeType("application/json;charset=UTF-8");
},
data: "pass=TEST",
dataType: "json",
error: function (xhr, status) {
alert(status);
},
success: function (result) {
alert(result);
}
});
});
Are you using "www" on the page in the browser?
Try switching the call to not include the domain, like:
"/_r4444/getter.php" instead of the full domain.
