Cross domain access for JSON interface using AJAX

[abdullahc]

Salam,

I'm using Chromium 12.0.742.112 (90304) Ubuntu 10.04.

Trying to access Alfanous JSON interface from JavaScript (jQuery). The browser prevents my script from retrieving data.

chromium js console:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.alfanous.org/json?search=%D8%A3%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

As it is mentioned here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3595515/xmlhttprequest-error-origin-null-is-not-allowed-by-access-control-allow-origin

A workaround is to add callback= to GET parameters

Otherwise:
server reply must have 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *' in the HTTP header.

Salam ,

First ,thank you for submiting this bug. as i read it's about the browsers policy that restrict getting information from other websites.

I added this header to the service script:
    print "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8"
    #Allow cross domain XHR
    print 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'
    print 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET'
    print

Also I added this to .htaccess :
    Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin *

I hope this helps.
