Jsonp is enabled per default on cloudant. the response i´m getting is correct most of the time. the syntax error "only" happens on 10% of the requests.
seems like javascript cannot parse the jsonp response in some cases because the response is sent with "text/plain" but js tries to interpret the response as a script. cheers, toni Am 29.07.2011 um 20:21 schrieb Max Ogden: > in your configuration pane from futon make sure that allow_jsonp is set to > true > > here is an example NON jsonp response, e.g. http://couch/database/123: > > {"pizza":"cats"} > > here is the same resource with jsonp enabled, e.g. > http://couch/database/123?callback=taco: > > taco({"pizza":"cats"}) > > as you can see, to test if jsonp is enabled you just have to add a callback > parameter to your request and you should see your data wrapped in a function > with the same name as the parameter > > On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 2:16 PM, Toni Thomä <[email protected]> wrote: > >> hello, >> i´m firing an ajax/jsonp reqeust to my cloudant app: >> >> var obj = $.ajax({ >> url: "http://xyz";, >> dataType: 'jsonp', >> success: function(data) { >> //SOME CODE >> }, >> error: function() { >> //SOME CODE >> } >> }); >> >> most of the time the response is ok and i can read out my data. >> but sometimes I´m getting the following error (with the same query string >> that already worked): >> >> Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type >> text/plain. >> Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : >> >> i need to make this request an jsonp request, AFAIK jsonp returns as a >> script and gets executed by the browser. >> do i have to set a request header? >> (I´m using GoogleChrome) >> >> cheers, >> toni >> >>
