You can't do a cross-domain POST, nor a cross-domain GET either. It doesn't matter what kind of data it returns, you can't do a POST at all. It's not a jQuery limitation; the browser won't allow it for any JavaScript code.
Cross-domain JSONP works because it uses a dynamic script element, not a GET or POST. -Mike On Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 5:14 PM, David P <dpio...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a webservice sitting on my https server that accepts the POST > verb and responds with some JSON. > If I build a simple html form like > > <form method="post" action="https://myserver.com/myWS";> > <input type="submit"/> > <input type="hidden" name="emailAddress" value="a...@a.com" /> > <input type="hidden" name="password" value="uk" /> > </form> > > it will return the correct json data, with content type "application/ > json", and the browser will ask to save the result.
