[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request - can't get to work in Firefox, Chrome

2013-06-10 Thread Pam

Thank you very much !!!

Without *addHeader* the following code only worked on IE, but adding this 
line also works in Chrome and Firefox.

The problem was Chrome and Firefox html page didn't receive xmlhttp.status 
== 200, only xmlhttp.readyState == 4, only received status == 0.


public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, 
  HttpServletResponse response)
  throws IOException{

*response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Origin, *);*

PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
out.write(html\n +
body\n +
h1 align=centerEjemplo1 de Servlet/h1\n +
br\n + today + /body\n+
/html
);

}

 Excellent.  Thanks very much T.J.. your idea worked.

 In my servlet, I overrided the doOptions() method from HttpServlet and
 returned the response headers that you suggested:

  response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Origin, *);
  response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Methods, 
 request.getHeader(Access-Control-Request-Methods));
  response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Headers, 
 request.getHeader(Access-Control-Request-Headers));

 and Firefox and Chrome both started working beautifully (also verified
 that IE still works).

 In the end, my overall intent is to package this HTML file with my web
 application, so it sounds like I won't need to have this doOptions()
 in my servlet.  It's just that in the beginning, I figured I would
 test the HTML file outside of the web app and I guess I didn't realize
 I would run into this kind of trouble.  Still, it's always good to
 know how to go about fixing something like this in the future.

 Thanks for everyone's help.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.request problem

2012-08-13 Thread Gaurav Dubey
Hello Akaballa

   Well as long as I understand prototype ajax request you need to add 
asynchronous: false,  in you ajax request definition.
So try like this:
  new Ajax.Request('some url',
{
   asynchronous: false, 
method:'post',
parameters: {searchString: searchQuery},
onSuccess: function(transport)
{ 
var str = transport.responseText || no response text;
$('searchResponse').update(str); 
 },
onFailure: function()
{
alert('Unable to retrieve requested data. Please try again.');
}
 });



Let me know if it still creates problem for you.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request fails, while vanilla XHR works fine

2012-04-12 Thread Victor


 Same browser (Safari.latest) on the same computer, the Prototype method 
 gives me a security failure (Origin [my host] is not allowed by 
 Access-Control-Allow-Origin.) while the long-hand XHR (inside a Prototype 
 observer) just works without any comment:


 Two differences I can notice:
1. Prototype sets request headers 'X-Requested-With', 
'X-Prototype-Version', 'Accept' with setRequestHeaders() - you don't
2. Prototype calls send with null argument
this.transport.send(null); // Prototype
vs
client.send(); // your raw XHR

If you can test your code with these two changes - will it raise error?

  $('zip').observe('change', function(evt) {
var client = new XMLHttpRequest();
client.open(GET, 
http://zip.elevenbasetwo.com?zip=http://zip.elevenbasetwo.com/?zip= 
+ $F(this), true);
client.onreadystatechange = function() {
  if(client.readyState == 4) {
var data = client.responseText.evalJSON();
$('city').setValue(data.city);
$('state').setValue(data.state);
  };
};

Thanks very much for the suggestion. It looks as though ANY setRequestHeader 
invocation at all is enough to scuttle the request. I tried commenting one, 
then two, then all of them out. Without those three lines, the request works 
fine -- even with the null in the send. But add any one of them back, and the 
request fails. It seems to be an issue on their server (BaseHTTP/0.3 
Python/2.7.1+ according to FireBug). I'll file a bug and see what happens.

2012-04-11 Thread Walter Lee Davis
I understand the SOP, I was wondering why it worked when I violated SOP from a 
hard-coded XHR request. Under the hood, it is my understanding that Prototype 
sets up a very similar XHR request anyway. It doesn't make any sense that the 
one would work while the other did not. This server is specifically kinked to 
allow a request such as this, or else the SOP would cause it to fail no matter 
what. Can anyone point out the flaw in my logic here?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request not working with HTTPS and self signed certificates

2011-06-12 Thread T.J. Crowder
Hi,

I don't think it has anything to do with the certificate being self-
signed, just that it's https.

Are you trying to use https in an ajax call when the page has been
loaded via http? If so, you're running into the Same Origin Policy[1],
which forbids doing that. Ajax requests, by default, can only go to
the same origin as the document in which the script is running, and
the concept of an origin includes the protocol (http://example.com and
https://example.com are _different_ origins). More in the link.

If you're in control of the server, you have a couple of options:

1. Use JSON-P[2] instead of Ajax. JSON-P doesn't have an origin
restriction, but it can only use the GET method, not POST.

2. If you can rely on using a modern browser, you can use the new
CORS[3] standard. You can see a list of browsers and their support (or
lack thereof) for CORS here[4]. Unfortunately, CORS is only supported
by IE in IE8 and above, and that support requires extra work (whereas
every other browser vendor who supported it did so in a backward-
compatible way). Specifically, instead of using XMLHttpRequest (which
is what Ajax.Request uses), you have to use a completely new
XDomainRequest object instead. But again, only on IE. Note that using
CORS requires that you add support for it to the server, because you
have to handle a request from the browser asking if it's okay to send
the cross-origin request.

2011-06-12 Thread T.J. Crowder
Hi,

 As I said in my post, the Ajax.Request call are in a HTML Application
 (HTA). Which is not a server page. It run on client machine using
 mshta.exe and request data from server using ajax.

Ah, sorry. Probably not safe to assume everyone knows what you mean by
HTA. I've seen any number of acronyms people have created ad hoc to
make their web apps sound cool, I have to assume I put your use of
HTA in that category, not being familiar with that specific
Microsoft-centric technology.

 And I don't think the issue is due to Same Origin Policy, as the
 requests are working fine when server SSL is enabled using  trusted
 certificate.

In that case, it's a question for Microsoft. Prototype isn't involved
in the certificate chain process at all. It just does the request and
reads the response via XMLHttpRequest. The certificate stuff is
handled by the user agent (e.g., mshta.exe).

 Ah, sorry. Probably not safe to assume everyone knows what you mean by
 HTA. I've seen any number of acronyms people have created ad hoc to
 make their web apps sound cool, I have to assume I put your use of
 HTA in that category, not being familiar with that specific
 Microsoft-centric technology.

  And I don't think the issue is due to Same Origin Policy, as the
  requests are working fine when server SSL is enabled using  trusted
  certificate.

 In that case, it's a question for Microsoft. Prototype isn't involved
 in the certificate chain process at all. It just does the request and
 reads the response via XMLHttpRequest. The certificate stuff is
 handled by the user agent (e.g., mshta.exe).

Hi,
 
I don't think it has anything to do with the certificate being self-
signed, just that it's https.
 
Are you trying to use https in an ajax call when the page has been
loaded via http? If so, you're running into the Same Origin
 Policy[1],
which forbids doing that. Ajax requests, by default, can only go to
the same origin as the document in which the script is running, and
the concept of an origin includes the protocol 
(http://example.comandhttps://example.comare_different_origins).
 More in the link.
 
If you're in control of the server, you have a couple of options:
 
1. Use JSON-P[2] instead of Ajax. JSON-P doesn't have an origin
restriction, but it can only use the GET method, not POST.
 
2. If you can rely on using a modern browser, you can use the new
CORS[3] standard. You can see a list of browsers and their support
 (or
lack thereof) for CORS here[4]. Unfortunately, CORS is only supported
by IE in IE8 and above, and that support requires extra work (whereas
every other browser vendor who supported it did so in a backward-
compatible way). Specifically, instead of using XMLHttpRequest (which
is what Ajax.Request uses), you have to use a completely new
XDomainRequest object instead. But again, only on IE. Note that using
CORS requires that you add support for it to the server, because you
have to handle a request from the browser asking if it's okay to send
the cross-origin request.

2011-02-24 Thread RudyWI
I have done some research.
You are right : It's not a problem with Prototype.
Firefox sent a preflighted OPTION request according to CORS
specification because I have added an custom header field.

Do you know how to send my GET request with my custom header field ? I
need to configure HTTP server, or browser, or other... ?

2011-02-23 Thread T.J. Crowder
Hi,

What you've quoted here:

 Access-Control-Request-Headers=remote_user,x-prototype-version,x-

...isn't a request header. It looks like a response header from a
server that accepts CORS[1] requests and (for its own reasons) decided
to make your request headers all lowercase.

I just tried your code with Prototype 1.7 (http://jsbin.com/ikere3),
and the actual *request* header sent (according to Chrome, and
separately according to Firebug), was indeed REMOTE_USER with the
value I gave (foo, in my case).

 After I invoked this function, the request header sent is :

 Host=*

 Access-Control-Request-Method=GET
 Access-Control-Request-Headers=remote_user,x-prototype-version,x-

 So I don't have a valid field for REMOTE_USER, as defined in my

 I want a request Header similar to :

 REMOTE_USER=user

 How to do it ?

function ajaxCall(url, callbackResponse_1, p) {
try{
new Ajax.Request(url, {

} catch (exception) {

}

..anyway onSucces never got reached because Ajax.request simply die
after onCreate().To be more precise I had a JSP page including three
script tag:
scriptprototype.js/script
scriptajaxCall.js/script, which contains the ajaxCall() and the
otherFunc() functions above.
script{inline_script}/script, which contains a function search()
that calls ajaxCall(url,callbackResponse_1,p) and, of course, function
callbackResponse_1() itself.
After that there's an anchor in the page's form with
javascript:search(); in its onClick attribute.

Please consider that I didn't write this page by myself (..I think,
for other thousands good reasons,  that it is really a messy JSP!!!)
I'm just bugfixing it.

The fact is that the page won't work if simply import prototype.js on
IE7 (7.0.5730.13), but it works on FF (3.6.12) and IE 8. The only ways
that I found out to get it work are:
- moving function() {return new XMLHttpRequest() and the end of the
Try.these statement in prototype code (it works in ANY browser i

- disable native XMLHttpRequest support from IE7 advanced options
(but as you easily understand I can't force users to disable a browser

Any other suggestion?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request bug using IE 7 and Prototype 1.7

2010-12-01 Thread T.J. Crowder
Hi,

Your code, as quoted, assumes that the symbols `callbackResponse_1`
and `callbackResponse_2` are defined by a scope enclosing your
ajaxCall function, as the code you quoted doesn't define them anywhere
but the `onSuccess` handler tries to call them. When those symbols are
defined (http://jsbin.com/asate3), the code works (including on IE7).
When they aren't defined (http://jsbin.com/asate3/2), it fails (with
all the browsers I tested -- Chrome, Mozilla, Opera, IE6, IE8...),
which makes sense as you're trying to call functions that don't exist.
If you set it up to actually call the `callbackResponse` passed into
it (http://jsbin.com/asate3/3), it succeeds in calling that (including
on IE7) and then fails (of course) to call the non-existant function
callbackResponse_1.

Nothing whatsoever to do with XMLHttpRequest. Or Prototype.

Am I missing something?

 Hello everbody!
 I want to tell you about a funny error I've found making an
 Ajax.Request with Internet Explorer 7 and Prototype 1.7.
 Please. considering this very standard code:

 function ajaxCall(url, callbackResponse) {
         try{
                 new Ajax.Request(url, {
                   method: 'get',
                   asynchronous: true,
                   onSuccess: function(transport) {

                   }
                 });
         } catch (exception) {
         alert(exception.inspect());
         }

 }

 When trying to execute those lines the Ajax.Request never happened,
 not only the callback method, even the very first
 transport.send(url) never starts. Googling and debugging a bit, I've
 found out the root of my problem:

 Basically the cause of bug is the well know poor designed
 XMLHttpRequest implementation of IE7 which is really buggy ad won't
 work as we expected. Anyway there's is also a prototype issue. In fact
 in version 1.7 sources there are these lines of code:

 var Ajax = {
   getTransport: function() {
     return Try.these(
       function() {return new XMLHttpRequest()},
 ---
       function() {return new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP')},
       function() {return new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')}
         ) || false;
   },

 [..]

 that try to create XMLHttpRequest object in a browser-compatibility
 way. Anyway because IE7 supports XMLHttpRequest, but it's buggy, those
 lines force it to use a buggy implementation instead of less-good-but-
 working Activex one.
 I wouldn't call it a prototype bug but it's a fact that at least one
 old version (I've seen it on 1.4) had a slightly different
 implementation:

 var Ajax = {
   getTransport: function() {
     return Try.these(
       function() {return new ActiveXObject('Msxml2.XMLHTTP')},
       function() {return new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP')},
       function() {return new XMLHttpRequest()}
 ---
     ) || false;
   },

 which perfectly works with different browser (IE 7/8, FF3, Chrome for
 sure).

 I hope that my post will be of help for someone else.

 Best Regards.

I had an AJAX file upload solution built out, where you use javascript
to create a hidden iframe element, then you set the form to post to
that hidden frame. It worked, however if you go through the trouble of
that i would recommend you opt for a flash based file uploader. Much
more robust and can give you a multiple file upload functionality.

 If you want file upload using Ajax, google for AJAX file upload. You  
 basically can't do it due to Javascript security and have to rely on  
 either an iFrame to post the form data to or a Flash-based solution.  
 You could also wait a couple more years until the HTML5 File API is

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request and evalJS bug

2010-05-18 Thread Tobie Langel

 `evalJS` tells Prototype not to evaluate JSON, not scripts.

That's actually incorrect.

- `evalJSON` controls the evaluation of JSON data,
- `evalJS` of JavaScript programs served through xhr, and
- `evalScripts` of the content of script tags found in the
responseText property of the xhr object.

Best,

Tobie

Hi Tobie,

 That's actually incorrect.

Thanks! It struck me as odd but I figured I was just misremembering,
because I was drawing on the docs for that answer -- and they say[1]
`evalJS` controls JSON eval:

 evalJS (Boolean | String; default true): Automatically evals the
content of Ajax.Response#responseText and populates
Ajax.Response#responseJSON with it if the Content-type returned by the
server is set to application/json. If the request doesn't obey same-
origin policy, the content is sanitized before evaluation. If you need
to force evalutation, pass 'force'. To prevent it altogether, pass
false. 

That looks like it's kind of a mashed-together version of the two of
them.

I've double-checked the source, and it seems at a glance that
(unsurprisingly!) you're right, so I've filed a ticket[2] in
Lighthouse about it.

2010-05-06 Thread walther diechmann
Hey Jinsa,

good of you!

Hard pressed to come up with a solution, I ran the HTML (generated by
Formtastic) through validator.w3.org - and turned out the input tag
was not closed properly ( input / was missing the slash). Posted my
observation to the Formtastic group here on Google - and they pointed
my attention to the DOCTYPE. I use the DOCTYPE suggested by the Rails
framework - but browsers apparently do not interpret the handling of
tags uniformly :(
(really can't say I didn't know that)

Lesson learned:
building documents dynamically using innerHTML - or via Prototype
methods (replace and update) - it is of vital importance to have the
dynamic HTML validated, or selecting a DOCTYPE which will allow for
looser interpretations, at least pertaining to forms manipulation and
Ajax calls.

I have to apologise here! Neither Prototype nor Script.aculo.us is to
blame - and I've been crying wolf for no reason at all.

Please excuse my lack of command in the W3C specs :(

Cheers,
Walther

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request - onComplete(response, possible second arg?)

2010-05-04 Thread T.J. Crowder
Hi,

 There have been some interesting issues, and mostly I've fixed (with
 no help from the deprecation script, as it doesn't work).

Have you filed bug report(s) for the way/ways in which you don't think
it works? (Although at this point, as it's been two and a half years
since 1.6.0 was released, I'm not sure the core devs would action
them.)

 So, one issue I've come accross, I need to know if passing a second
 parameter to the onComplete Ajax.Request is still possible.

The onComplete callback still receives a second argument:

...all callbacks (except onException) are invoked with two
parameters: the Ajax.Response object and the result of evaluating the
X-JSON response header, if any (can be null).[1]

So as long as your PHP code is sending the result from json_encode as
a response header with the name X-JSON, it should be showing up in
your onComplete handler.

 Hi all,

 I've have been working with a *lot* of javascript code, all done in
 prototype 1.5. The company I work for, has decided to upgrade
 prototype libraries. So I have upgraded prototype and scriptaculous,
 and about 5 others.

 There have been some interesting issues, and mostly I've fixed (with
 no help from the deprecation script, as it doesn't work).

 So, one issue I've come accross, I need to know if passing a second
 parameter to the onComplete Ajax.Request is still possible.

 There are a ton of Ajax.Request calls like this:

 new Ajax.Request('some_url.php', {
         parameters  : Parameters,
         evalScripts : true,

         onComplete: function(response, arrSomeStuff){
                 // from php arrSomeStuff is passed like this
 json_encode(arrSomeStuff);
                 $('some_div').update(arrSomeStuff.value_name);
         },

         onFailure: function(response){
                 // handle errors
         }

 });

 Now, I don't know why the arrSomeStuff was passed along as a second
 argument, as response has the same information. But, the advantage,
 was that in 1.5, that array came perfectly, you didn't have to get it
 out of the response var.

 But, it doesn't work on 1.6. And there is too much code for me to try
 to adapt this (30 files, each using it about 20 times).

 So far, everything works, except it doesn't execute the update because
 arrSomeStuff.value_name is null.

 Any ideas??

 Thanks!! :)

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request - can't get to work in Firefox, Chrome

2010-03-16 Thread T.J. Crowder
Hi again,

 I
 _thought_ it was as easy (in this case) as setting the Access-Control-
 Allow-Origin header to * in response to the OPTIONS request, but
 apparently there's more to it as that didn't work in my five-minute
 test, which is all I have time for this morning.

Well, I got to thinking that I really needed to know more about CORS,
so I read key parts of the spec and realized I was being a *bit* too
simplistic, but wasn't a million miles off.

Adding the following to both the OPTIONS response and to the actual
request response (the GET or POST) allows any origin to query my JSP
with a CORS-enabled browser and so makes things work for me in Firefox
and Chrome in your local-file-requesting-web-resource scenario (as
well as my port 8080 = port 8701 scenario):

response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Origin, *);
response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Methods,
request.getHeader(Access-Control-Request-Methods));
response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Headers,
request.getHeader(Access-Control-Request-Headers));

What that's doing (line by line) is:

1. Allowing *any* origin to do the request (Access-Control-Allow-
Origin: *). This is probably a bad idea unless you really do want to
make the resource globally accessible (but then, there are lots of
valid use cases for that). To lock it down a bit more, your best bet
is to examine the Origin request header
(request.getHeader(Origin)) and determine whether you want to allow
access from that origin and if so echo that value back for your Access-
Control-Allow-Origin response header. The Origin I get when requesting
from a file:// resource is null, which is intresting, so in your
scenario you'd probably have to use *.

2. Allowing the request to use the methods (and only the methods) it's
asked to use. Alternately you could just say GET, POST if you wanted
to allow GET and POST, but it seems a bit silly to allow more than
they've asked for. You might, of course, allow *less* than they've
asked for, in which case (in theory) they might adjust what they're
doing.

3. Allow the request to use the headers it's asked to use. Once again,
you may wish to limit what headers they can use, but this was the key
bit I was missing previously.

Caveat user: I'm learning this stuff, I can't say that the discussion
above is thorough (read the W3 doc) or informed (it isn't). But it's
plenty to allow you to do something internal like your example. I
would just read up a lot more before doing anything publicly-
accessible.

Happy coding,

 I've replicated the results you're getting. My suspicion is that if
 you modify your servlet to handle the OPTIONS method (doOptions[1]),

 it's a cross-origin request and so it's simply doing the request, not
 applying the SOP[4].

 I haven't gotten into CORS much yet. The basic thing is that the
 browser asks the target resource (via the OPTIONS method) whether it's
 okay for the origin to access that resource. If the origin replies
 with response headers allowing the original request, the browser
 performs the original request (GET, POST, whatever). If not, it
 disallows the request, which is what you're seeing. If you search for
 CORS examples on the web, I expect you'll find at least one in Java. I

Excellent.  Thanks very much T.J.. your idea worked.

In my servlet, I overrided the doOptions() method from HttpServlet and
returned the response headers that you suggested:

 response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Origin, *);
 response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Methods, 
 request.getHeader(Access-Control-Request-Methods));
 response.addHeader(Access-Control-Allow-Headers, 
 request.getHeader(Access-Control-Request-Headers));

and Firefox and Chrome both started working beautifully (also verified
that IE still works).

In the end, my overall intent is to package this HTML file with my web
application, so it sounds like I won't need to have this doOptions()
in my servlet.  It's just that in the beginning, I figured I would
test the HTML file outside of the web app and I guess I didn't realize
I would run into this kind of trouble.  Still, it's always good to
know how to go about fixing something like this in the future.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Hi,

 From IE, it works just fine
 (probably because it's using ActiveX rather than XMLHttpRequest)

Not *rather than* -- it's using XMLHttpRequest regardless. On older
versions of IE, the way you get one is via ActiveX, but that's
irrelevant (and only older versions); it's an XMLHttpRequest
regardless.

      var asyncReq = new Ajax.Request(http://localhost:8701/MyApp/
 MyServlet, opts);

What's the URL of the page this is a part of? Because the fact you've
given a full URL there makes me think this is not relative to the
page, which makes me wonder if you're running afoul of the Same Origin
Policy[1] (because remember, different ports are different origins).
But in that case, I wouldn't expect IE to work, either, not even IE6.

When I try this in my setup, requesting from localhost:8080 to
localhost:8701, using IE7 I simply get an access denied error and my
servlet (okay, it's a JSP for test purposes) is never triggered at
all. When I try this from Firefox or Chrome, because they support
CORS[2][3], I see the OPTIONS request to my JSP seeking permission for
cross-origin requests.

 The servlet that I'm calling performs a log operation right away so I

 I've used Firebug to try to debug firefox and I see that the line
 this.transport.send(this.body);

 log of being called.

 The exact javascript I'm using is below:

           parameters : { key:value },
           onSuccess: function(transport)
           {

 As you can see, in the success method, I just populate a textbox to
 have the current date/time, and this actually works in all browsers
 (IE, Firefox, Chrome).  Just that in Firefox and Chrome the servlet is
 not physically being called (yet the success method is).

 Any help in solving this issue is greatly appreciated.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request - can't get to work in Firefox, Chrome

2010-03-15 Thread Ronen
Thanks for correcting me on ActiveX... I didn't know that internally,
an XMLHttpRequest object gets used in the end.

In response to disccomp, I'm not sure how I would use a relative URL.
Could you give an example?  I've tried using a value such as /MyApp/
MyServlet, but this doens't work at all (even in IE), which I can
understand since this is not specifying exactly how to reach the
servlet.

T.J, thanks for your reply as well.  The answer to your first question
(the URL of the page that this is part of) is that I'm just having an
HTML file sitting on my desktop.  This is the HTML file that I'm
loading up in IE, Firefox, and Chrome.  So it's not part of any web
app, but rather just tries to invoke a servlet on a web app that is
currently deployed.  Would this make a difference?  (If so, how can we
explain why it works on IE?)  In any case, I can and will try to load
an HTML file that is part of the same web app (since that's the
overall intent anyways), but I guess I'm not very confident in this
fixing the issue.

Also, the reason I use 8701 is because I'm trying this at work where
I'm using WebLogic (and the port is set up as 8701), but on my home
machine, I am using tomcat so I use 8080 like you did.

 Hi,

  From IE, it works just fine
  (probably because it's using ActiveX rather than XMLHttpRequest)

 Not *rather than* -- it's using XMLHttpRequest regardless. On older
 versions of IE, the way you get one is via ActiveX, but that's
 irrelevant (and only older versions); it's an XMLHttpRequest
 regardless.

       var asyncReq = new Ajax.Request(http://localhost:8701/MyApp/
  MyServlet, opts);

 What's the URL of the page this is a part of? Because the fact you've
 given a full URL there makes me think this is not relative to the
 page, which makes me wonder if you're running afoul of the Same Origin
 Policy[1] (because remember, different ports are different origins).
 But in that case, I wouldn't expect IE to work, either, not even IE6.

 When I try this in my setup, requesting from localhost:8080 to
 localhost:8701, using IE7 I simply get an access denied error and my
 servlet (okay, it's a JSP for test purposes) is never triggered at
 all. When I try this from Firefox or Chrome, because they support
 CORS[2][3], I see the OPTIONS request to my JSP seeking permission for
 cross-origin requests.

I have had similar issues before in my applications. I have always
assumes that they were caching issues. With the method as 'post' and
adding the current date and time in the parameters field (or query
string), I've been able to get past this issue.
This is to make sure the url being called is alway unique. You may
want to parse out punctuation characters though.

I would be interested to know if this is some sort of application
scope issue like T.J. Crowder is suggesting. It seems unlikely due to
the fact that IE is allowing it. Although I have seen IE do some
pretty weird stuff I wouldn't ignore the possibility.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request - can't get to work in Firefox, Chrome

2010-03-15 Thread Ronen
Thanks for the suggestion Scott.

I've tried to add the current timestamp (via the javascript expression
new Date().getTime() ) to the parameters and the query string (in
all the combinations such as first adding it only to parameters, then
only to query string, and then to both) and unfortunately, still no
luck.

I did verify that in IE, the timestamp was being received by the
servlet.

One thing I did catch, however, is that the first time I tried it in
firefox, firebug reported this exception:
Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)
[nsIXMLHttpRequest.send

This was thrown by the line
this.transport.send()
of prototype.js, but subsequent times, firefox did not produce this
exception anymore (the ajax request did not raise any exceptions, yet
still no luck in reaching the servlet)

I looked this error code up on google and also tried looking it up on
Mozilla's Source Code site (http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8.0/source/
extensions/xmlextras/base/src/nsXMLHttpRequest.cpp#1423) and it looks
like this NS_ERROR_FAILURE error is returned by the send() method in
three places:
Line 1429 (this is the case where more than one request is made with
the same XMLHttpRequest object)
Line 1553 (not quite sure how this one works)
Line 1626 (right before firefox returns a successful response, it
check whether mChannel exists, and if not, it returns this error).. my
guess would be that this is the line that's causing my request not to
work, but I can't figure out why.

Are you sure your servlet is responding with the proper headers. Try
creating a small self-contained minimum test case which fails. Using a
relative URL ensures that it is from the same origin as the loading
page. -Mark

Re: [Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request

2009-12-22 Thread Alex McAuley
If i recall correctly ...

Failure only gets called on a server error ... like a 404 ...

The failure may be due to a javascript error and would not return the alert 
if that was the case.

On the back  success only calls when the server has responded...

Ergo there are many things that can go wrong - i've listed a couple below

1. Transit. To/From the server
2. Server side scripts (will return whitespace upon an error - if error 
reporting is turned off) and this is still considered a success by 
javascript.

Also i noticed in the original post that you had asynchronous: true...

It is true by default so you can save a few bites there.

As TJ said in an earlier reply, You cannot return out of the Ajax request as 
it is run asyncronously with the page (meaning [in easy terms] you can 
execute alot of javascript at the same time as the request without locking 
the browser]). To perform what you want to achieve (if i'm getting what you 
want to do correctly) you should create a response handler ... something 
akin to

onSuccess : function(data) {
myHandler({data:data.responseText.evalJSON,vars:someotherVars});
}

...

function myHandler(options) {
var ReposnseData=options.data;
$('someElement').update(ResponseData);


}


Hope this helps...

 This is an important thing to work on. If I know I will be using
 onError on the client side, I make sure that my Ajax endpoint on the
 server will return a real error header using PHP's header() method.

 You can also get very fancy with different error header codes, too,
 throwing a distinctly different error depending on the nature of that
 error, and then handling it in the Ajax callback using one of the
 onNNN methods instead of onError (which covers any error between 400
 and 5NN, IIRC).

Hi,

 I want to function get_data_default return data recived from OnSucces
 function. How do that?

The best way is by changing your approach so that you can request the
data, and then process it later when it comes back. If you're using an
asynchronous request, there is no way for the function initiating the
request to return the result -- the result isn't available when the
function returns. You *could* use a synchronous request instead, but
that's a very bad idea -- it makes your page (at least) or the entire
browser (at worst) completely unresponsive until the request
completes, depending on what browser the user is using. Some browsers
don't even *repaint* while the request is outstanding.

(BTW: You can't return any information from the onSuccess handler;
that handler is called by Prototype, which ignores any return value
from it.)

  T.J.,

  Thank you very much for the response. The problem is reproducible in my 
development environment where I verified using Firebug that no Expires header 
is set on the Ajax response.

  I tried your last resort suggestion and the problem goes away. (I know it 
is a hack but I'm going to deploy it because I need a quick fix).

  I'll see if I can produce and submit a minimalist example that reproduces the 
problem.

  Thanks,

Hi Brad,

Can you produce a minimalist, self-contained example[1] demonstrating
the problem?  It sounds a bit like an IE8 issue, as I thought all XHR
requests were supposed to bypass local cache, but perhaps I'm wrong
about that.

Are you sure you're setting the cachability of the result correctly?
E.g., that it should not be cached?  (This would be in the headers of
the result.)  You might want to check your cache-control headers.

In the worst case (and this really should be a last resort), you
should be able to defeat caching by adding a query parameter that's
constantly changing, e.g.:

new Ajax.Request(url + ?foo= + (new Date().getTime()), ...);

  I'm having a problem with Ajax.Request in IE8 that I can't understand.
My code is working fine in other browsers. If I use the IE8 menu to
clear the browser cache to my domain then my next Ajax.Request() works
properly. But when Ajax.Request is invoked again this problem arises:
1) no request is actually sent to my server; 2) processing continues
normally but the content I see is from the previous request (in other
words, it is old content).

Any suggestions about how I might resolve this issue would be greatly
appreciated. onSuccess and onComplete are both being invoked even when
the server request is not issued. (In case additional details are
helpful: I'm invoking Ajax.Request() from within Prototype-UI
window.js setAjaxContent() function, and the content is used to fully
populate a modal window).

Thanks,

Brad

JSON response ... {success : true, message : good}


Code ...

function ajaxRequest2(){
var url = /cgidev2p/r_chgpwd.pgm;
var pars = 'v_current=' + escape($F('v_current')) +
'v_new=' + escape($F('v_new')) + 'v_confirm=' + escape($F('v_confirm')) +
'sessionid=' + escape($F('sessionid'));
//var submitObj = document.getElementById('goButton');
new Ajax.Request(url, {

//contentType: 'application/json',
parameters: pars,
onSuccess: function(transport){
alert(Success);
var json = transport.responseJSON;
alert(json.success);
}
, onError: function(transport){
alert(skipped);
}
, onComplete: function(transport){
alert(Complete);
}
});
}



Alerts that I see are Success and Complete.  The alert(json.success) does
not fire.

If I change the code to alert(json) the alert fires with null.

But you are sending json with the properties 'success' and 'value',
and in the callback you use my example code, which tries to alert the

Also, make sure you have set the response's content type to

On the server: set the response type to application/json, something
to the equivalent of = response.setContentType(application/json)
Then print your json object to the response (java stylee again):
writer.print(String.format({value: %d, feelingOk: %s}, 42,
Boolean.TRUE))

In the callback, it is handled like this:

onComplete : function (transport) {

or

(writing to the response's PrintWriter)

hi

Im using here ie 6 and it works. but, in ie
the dom is ready only when the document is loaded so sometimes refering to
an element is impossible before the dom is loaded.

try moving the function call to the onload:

body onload=setVar('world');
div id=var/div

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request and curtain

2009-06-25 Thread T.J. Crowder

Hi,

 Is Ajax.Request somehow queuing up user events and refiring them after
 the request completes?

No, it isn't.

On IE7, it sounds as though your curtain div isn't where you think it
is in the z order or something like that, and separately the click of
the link seems to be being held up by the processing of the request.
(Are you talking to a server that only processes a single request in a
given session at a time?  Search the group for concurrent requests
or simultaneous requests for details, there've been a couple of
recent threads on that.)

You say you're using an onclick handler returning false (e.g., a DOM0
handler).  Have you tried using Element#observe[1] and Event#stop[2]
instead?  I don't know that it would make a difference, but it's more
up-to-date and may step around whatever the issue is.  This stops and
eats clicks on a div called 'curtain':

$('curtain').observe('click', function(event) {
event.stop();
});

[2] http://prototypejs.org/api/event/stop

 In IE7:

 If I create a div as a curtain that hides the rest of the page, but
 initially hidden, then unhide it before making an Ajax.Request, I find
 that click events on the curtain seem to get postponed until after the
 request completes (and my callback hides the curtain again).  Which
 means that if the user clicks on a link in the content beneath the
 curtain, that click takes effect after the curtain is gone.  If I use
 a plain old XMLHttpRequest to make the request, then the expected
 behavior occurs (an onclick handler for the curtain div returns false
 to disable clicking).

 Behavior is OK in Firefox.

 Is Ajax.Request somehow queuing up user events and refiring them after
 the request completes?  And, if so, can I override this?

Hi T.J., thanks for help!

Well, i've made the changes you told me to do, including the var
name :-)
Visualy nothing happend :(

I've tried the Ajax.Updater... tried the update()... tried the
onSuccess instead onComplete...
All of this is too valid, but nothing changed at the end.

Could it be anything in HTML code? Like a header missing... wrong
doctype... I dont know, just guessing
Remembering: its working fine in FF. But the s*** of Internet Explorer
simply dont work.

The only handler that executes something is the onCreate. Nothing on
onFailure and onException.

 Hi Rodrigo,

 I see two problems there, and separately I have two suggestions.

 The problems are:

 1. You're using the onComplete handler.  onComplete is fired when the
 request is complete for *any reason*, even if it failed.  You probably
 only want to do this when the request is successful, which is the
 onSuccess handler.  (You probably also want to have an onFailure
 handler so you can tell the user that the request failed; it may be
 worth looking at this article[1] on the unofficial wiki.)

 2. You don't want the 'this' in this line:

     $('conteudo').innerHTML = this.originalRequest.responseText;

 Just use:

     $('conteudo').innerHTML = originalRequest.responseText;

 ...or even better, using Element#update[2]:

     $('conteudo').update(originalRequest.responseText);

 Okay, the suggestions:

 A) Your variable name originalRequest is misleading, because it's
 not the request.  It's an Ajax.Response object.  I suggest the name
 response. :-)

 B) Use Ajax.Updater[3] instead of Ajax.Request.  Ajax.Updater does
 almost exactly what you're doing.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request and php global variable

2009-03-03 Thread Alex Mcauley

global how .. that doesnt really explain much


If you mean globaly accessible to javascript then you need to do something 
like

?php
$bar='bar';
echo(scriptfoo=$bar/script);

?


scriptalert(foo);/script

...

otherwise please be more specific

Thanks

Or if you mean passing the contents of the php variable $var to 'test2.php' 
then you can do so like this

Event.observe(document,'dom:loaded', function() {

marioosh, you also need to properly quote strings, or convert php 
variables to javascript notation.

Easiest way to do this is to use json_encode() function:

?php
$bar='bar';
echo (scriptfoo= . json_encode($bar) . /script);
?

Which will give you something like:
scriptfoo=bar/script

If $bar was an array, eg $bar=array('one','two'), the json_encode 
function would also convert it to javascript notation:

I dont think sessions will cut it if he is trying to move around php objects 
async, process them and or add to them and return the same object ... - is 
all depends on what he is trying to do but for instance to set a session 
variable in PHP then retrieve that session variable later on in a script 
requires another ajax request to set a javascript variable to then check if 
the session has changed or to query the value again  which is expensive

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.request is not sending back the response with Safari browser using Iframe. The same works perfectly with IE and firefox.

2009-03-03 Thread Atif

Hi David,

Below is the code:

Java script function in the Iframe is:

function addStudentInfo() {

var dataObjArr = new Array();
var studJson1 = {name: Stud1, age: 21, gender: Male,
course : Physics, location: XYZ};
var studJson2 = {name: Stud2, age: 22, gender: Female,
course : Chemistry, location: XYZ};
var studJson3 = {name: Stud3, age: 23, gender: Male,
course : Matchs, location: XYZ};

dataObjArr.push(studJson1)
dataObjArr.push(studJson2)
dataObjArr.push(studJson3)

parent.processStudentFromIframe(dataObjArr);
}

java script function in the parent page, which basically creates a
Ajax request, adds the student to Database and updates the display.

function processStudentFromIframe(dataObj) {
var studParamAttributes = ;
for(var a = 0; a  dataObj.length; a++) {
studParamAttributes = studParamAttributes + dataObj[a].name + 
~~ +
dataObj[a].age + ~~ + dataObj[a].gender
+ ~~ + dataObj[a].course + ~~ + dataObj[a].location;

studParamAttributes = studParamAttributes + ,;
}

//removing the last trailing comma.
studParamAttributes = studParamAttributes.replace(/^,+|,+$/, '');

var searchParam =cmd=ProfileControllerstudentParamAttributes= +
studParamAttributes + action=addStudentFromIframe;

showProgress();
var url = ./ab;
new Ajax.Request(url,
{
method:'post',

parameters:searchParam,
onComplete: 
function(request) {

hideProgress();

updateMessageAndStudentSummary(request);
}
}
);

}

Parent page function is getting called and showprogress function
displayed the progress bar but since the response never comes back
from Ajax.request, page simply gets hanged with the progress bar
display.

 Hello,

 I'm having a weird issue when trying to use Ajax.Request in a function
 within a function.

 I'm using LiveValidation fromhttp://www.livevalidation.com/which
 uses prototype.js.  It has a custom attribute that allows you to pass
 in a custom function to validate against.  I call this custom function
 so that I can check a username against a database using the
 Ajax.Request method.

 The way it should work is, if the username is not found, it returns
 true, otherwise false.  I haven't been able to get that exact result
 so I've created some workarounds.  True or False is passed to the
 custom function of LiveValidation and validates based on true or
 false.

 However, for some reason, there is a delay in passing the value from
 the LiveValidation custom function.  So let's say the username bee is
 taken.  As I type the word 'bee' and the LiveValidation is being
 passed to the Ajax.Method, it is returning false.  If I continue to
 type, let's say to the word 'beer,' it finally comes back true, even
 though 'beer' is not taken. Once I leave that field for the next one,
 it validates again and comes back false for the word 'beer.'  Thus the
 delay.

 Here is the code I am using for the Ajax.Request function:

 *
 function validateEntry(c,f) {
         var url = ajaxProcessor.php?f= + f + c= + c;
         new Ajax.Request(url, {
           method: 'post',
           onComplete: function(transport) {
                 if (transport.responseText == YES){
                         return entryResponse = 1;
                 }else{
                         return entryResponse = 0;
                 }
           }
         });
         if (entryResponse == 0) {
                 return false;
         }else{
                 return true;
         }}

 
 I'm using entryResponse because I haven't figured out how to return
 true or false.

 Here is the custom function for LiveValidation:

 
 script type=text/javascript

          var f1 = new LiveValidation('f1', { validMessage: Ok! } );
           f1.add( Validate.Custom, { against: function(value){ return
 validateEntry(value,3) }, failureMessage: Username already
 taken! } );

 /script
 ***

 Now I tested to see if it was the LiveValidation that was causing the
 delay in sending the correct value to the Ajax.Request function and
 it's not.  Somewhere within the Ajax.Request method, the return values
 are being delayed.

 Can anyone help?

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request unload

2009-01-08 Thread joe t.

Thanks for responding, and checking the code.

i guess i should have noted: i'm also using FirePHP, so there are
lines in place sending debug log lines back to Firebug. However, on
only this particular call, absolutely nothing gets sent back from the
server. Not even a log line saying the PHP script was executed.

No SOP violation (Internal.fileList.Path is correct), i've adjusted
all Internal references to be prefixed by window, though you are
correct, there are no other Internal objects in that context.

In a bizarre twist, if i create a new button in my application and
observe click to the EXACT same block of code, it executes
flawlessly.

 Hi Joe,

 The client-side code looks okay to this second pair of eyes.  (You
 might want to put window. in front of Internal in the Ajax.Request
 constructor, just for consistency as you've done it everywhere else.
 But I'm assuming you don't have some other Internal defined in
 scope, and so it should be using the same one anyway.)

 I'd suggest the usual things:  Check that
 window.Internal.fileList.Path really has the correct path and that
 it's not violating SOP; temporarily try replacing that path with a
 static file path to eliminate issues in the server-side processing;
 put debugging checks on the server-side resource it's calling; the
 usual sort of stuff.  I suspect an issue with the server-side
 resource.

 But the client-side part looks okay, FWIW.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request unload

2009-01-08 Thread joe t.

i presume the page hasn't already unloaded, because the document is
still visible, Firebug can still break at my designated markers, the
alert('Wait!') line still executes AFTER the Ajax call, and only
after i clear the alert does the page actually clear. Being that i'm
setting {asynchronous:false}, i believe that alert won't execute until
the Ajax is complete.

If i place this particular block in beforeunload, i have no way to
tell the PHP if the user has elected to continue unloading or has
canceled the unload. The PHP in this case cleans up files the user has
uploaded while on this page. Since i can't utilize the beforeunload
confirm's return value, the user's files would get cleaned up even if
they cancel the unload.

DAMMIT!
i found the bugger. It was a similar piece of PHP in a different file
that gets called when the page LOADS!
Everything was getting cleaned up before the piece i'm examining could
ever happen.

By the way, Firebug WAS reporting the FirePHP logs. It just happens
that it was displaying them when the next page loaded. Kinda weird,
easy to miss.

Anyway, thanks to both of you for your help.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request add a toString method

2008-11-08 Thread jaap.taal

Maybe you could describe this feature in some form (could be more
generic to other Prototype objects) in the documentation. I'm assuming
Object.inspect uses the toString method.

I agree with you that debugging features should be stripped, if such a
debug version would be created, implementation of the toString method
of several classes could be added...

Best fit for this would be an inspect method.

Hi,

You're looking for the onException callback[1].  If an exception
occurs during script evaluation (or for any other reason during the
processing of the request), onException is called.  You might want to
check ou the Bulletproof Ajax Requests How To in the unofficial
wiki[2], although what's there so far is just a start.

 Hi,

 I'm using prototype 1.6.0.2.

 My page is generated by a cgi-bin program (a dll) on a IIS server.
 It is encoded in Windows-1252 charset.
 Users may both use Internet Explorer 6 or Mozilla Firefox browsers.

 The page uses the Ajax.Request object in order to send a request to
 the dll :

 new Ajax.Request( http://myUpfrontserver/cognos/cgi-bin/
 upfisapi.dll, {
   method: 'post',
   parameters: {xmlcmd: DescribeNewsBoxID123443435454534/ID/

   contentType: application/x-www-form-urlencoded,
   onSuccess: function(transport) {
     /*
      My treatment on transport.responseXML or transport.responseText
     */
   }
  });

 The server returns an xml message supposed to be encoded in
 Windows-1252 charset.

 But it seems the transport response is interpreted as encoded in UTF-8
 charset...
 Actually, some accented character and their related characters appear
 with a ?
 i.e; : aï   becomes a?       (this is the U+FFFD character, which
 appears in a dark square on Firefox, and as ? on IE6)

 If I directly use the XMLHttpRequest object, I do not have this kind
 of problem on Firefox (the problem persists with IE6) : the
 responseText content is well detected in Windows-1252 charset.

 Do you know if the Ajax objects enforces the response to be detected
 as encoded in UTF-8?
 Is there any way to change this?

 I tried to analyze the prototype script in order to find where, in the
 Ajax class, the responseText could be encoded in UTF-8 but I could not
 find it... Anyway, I found that as the load was not completed, my
 responseText was correctly interpreted (accented characters appear
 correctly), and it is only at the end of the load when the status is
 complete, that the U+FFFD Unicode characters appear.

 Moreover, with IE6, I meet this problem by using both Ajax.Request or
 XMLHttpRequest...
 Is there a way to enforce encoding of the XMLHttpRequest response ?

I see an error in your code which could have prevented it from working

missing (happens to me all to frequently :)) - could that be the issue
or is it a typo?

I'd suggest you to use some kind of debugger for spotting that kind of

were any Javascript errors and lets you inspect AJAX requests easily.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request, parameterrs, JSON, and ASP.NET - Invalid JSON primitive

2008-09-10 Thread T.J. Crowder

Hi Maulkye,

Just off the top of my head, does your JSON looks like this:

{
thingy:  value
}

or like this:

{
thingy:  value
}

The former is not valid JSON syntax.  It is valid JavaScript object
literal syntax, but not JSON, which is a _subset_ of object literal
syntax.  The only primitive values (e.g., things you leave out of
quotes) in JSON are false, true, and null.

So if you're not putting quotes around the things on the left, you
might try that to see if it's the problem.  Maybe the MS parser is
being picky.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: Ajax.Request, parameterrs, JSON, and ASP.NET - Invalid JSON primitive

2008-09-10 Thread Maulkye

Hi and thanks for you response,

I have been having trouble with google not posting my messages, so I
accidentally posted this issue twice.  Additionally, the lengthy
solution I posted to the porblem disappeared as well.  I don't know
why, but I'd rather not post it again.

At any rate, you are correct in that I just never got the JSON format
right.  In the end, the biggest error I made was not including the
parameter in the JSON:

This format proved successful worked:

'{p_Person:
{__type:WebServiceCalls.Person,firstName:John,lastName:Smith,greeting:Hello}}'


Thanks,
Maulkye

 HiMaulkye,

 Just off the top of my head, does your JSON looks like this:

     {
         thingy:  value
     }

 or like this:

     {
         thingy:  value
     }

 The former is not valid JSON syntax.  It is valid JavaScript object
 literal syntax, but not JSON, which is a _subset_ of object literal
 syntax.  The only primitive values (e.g., things you leave out of
 quotes) in JSON are false, true, and null.

 So if you're not putting quotes around the things on the left, you
 might try that to see if it's the problem.  Maybe the MS parser is
 being picky.

  Hello all,

  I keep getting this error message (Invalid JSON primitive) when I try
  to call an Ajax.Request with the 'applicatio/json' content type.  I've
  tried formatting the parameters in a variety of ways, but no luck.
  Can anyone help?

  Here's what I have:

  CLIENT:
              new Ajax.Request(/myService.asmx/GetComplexData,{
                  onSuccess: onSuccess,
                  onFailure: onFailure,
                  method:post,
                  contentType:application/json; charset=utf-8,
                  parameters: {s: 'bob'}
              });

  SERVER:

          [WebMethod]
          public string GetComplexData(string s)
          {
              return s;
          }

  Note that other calls are working.  If I remove the content type, this
  woks ok, but it just populates the string parameter with the value of
  s from the client.  Additionally, I tried this on the server, but to
  no avail:

          [WebMethod]
          public string GetComplexData(object s)
          {
              return ok;
          }

  It seems like there's some way I'm supposed to format the parameters
  to make MS.NET happy, but I can't figure out how it is.  The server
  can obviously handle it, because if I use their big fat client library
  it sends json objects over and puts them into a dictionary object
  without a hitch.

  If anyone can offer some suggestions of even point in the right
  direction, I would be most appreciative.

  Thanks,
  -M
