Simple HTTP GET not working with https to get JSON - javascript

I have this working PhoneGap application built with AngularJS and Onsen UI, that accesses a PHP file where it gets some data in the response. The php file was on a domain with simple http, but now that I moved it to one that supports https , I keep bumping into some weird problems.
I tried the AngularJS async way of getting data, and also an ajax call.
$http.get('https://blablabla.com/file.php?parameters').then(function(response) {
//SUCCESS
alert(response);
var z = response;
},function(response) {
alert("Failed");
});
It goes to the SUCCESS part, but the data that I have in it is incorrect. It should be a string (a plain JSON string, that I will stringify and convert to a json object)
The ajax call is the following:
function httpGet(theUrl) {
var dataToReturn;
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: theUrl,
cache: false,
async: false,
data: "",
success: function(data, textStatus, result) {
dataToReturn = data;
},
error: function (result, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Failed to get response from server!");
}
});
return dataToReturn;
//var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
//xmlHttp.open( "GET", theUrl, false ); // false for synchronous request
//xmlHttp.send( null );
//return xmlHttp.responseText;
};
I'm basically calling a php script that is in https, from a PhoneGap app.
If I change the address to http, it works flawlessly...
I also want you to note, that PhoneGap basically creates some sort of local proxy. I'm not really sure how to elaborate on this, though...
Any ideas on how to solve this, to get the same data as I would when the addresses are simple "http"?

Angular automatically converts json, better if you set the proper header from your PHP serverside:
header('Content-Type: application/json');
just before the echo.
Second your get seems to be missing a parenthesis
$http.get('https://blablabla.com/file.php?parameters')
.then(function(response) {
//SUCCESS
alert(response);
var z = response;
},function(response) {
alert("Failed");
});
Third, the response doesn't go straight on response anymore but response.data
so you might want to try
alert(response.data);
var z = response.data;
Warning! this varies a lot depending on your Angular.js version
there are several different syntaxes to use for the $http object depending on the angular version you're on.

Call post on external Rest API with Ajax

I am new to angular, and I'm trying to make a call to a Rest API and get its response. My issue is that my JavaScript keeps getting stuck on the Ajax call. I'm not sure if it's the data I am sending or the syntax of the Ajax call. I tried to alert 'Hello world' and that worked, then I alerted the JSON array and that was formatted correctly, but when I do the Ajax post, I don't get any response at all.
Any insight would be nice, thank you.
test.html
<button onclick="myFunction()">Post it</button>
test.js
function myFunction() {
var postData = [{"logintype":"1","user":"Administrator","password":"12345","controlid":"999","host":"192.168.2.164"}
];
$.ajax({
url: '192.168.2.164/isapi/rip.dll/rest/session',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify( postData ),
success: function(){
alert('hello');
},
error: function(){
alert('error');
}
});
};
You have specified a relative URL, where I think you intended to specify an absolute URL. If the current page URL is http://localhost/myapp/, and you request 192.168.2.164/isapi/rip.dll/rest/session, that URL is resolved as http://localhost/myapp/192.168.2.164/isapi/rip.dll/rest/session.
If 192.168.2.164 is the ip address of the server you are trying to hit (and not a directory relative to your current path on your server), you will need to add // to the beginning of the URL to make it absolute (well, schema-relative at least):
$.ajax({
url: '//192.168.2.164/isapi/rip.dll/rest/session',
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: JSON.stringify( postData ),
success: function(){
alert('hello');
},
error: function(){
alert('error');
}
});
Your issue has nothing to do with angular. What I will refer you to is the angular docs description of how to do a POST request and a small example of the syntax taken from the docs.
Learn to use $http or something similar if you want to develop with angular. https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http
Small example:
// Simple POST request example (passing data) :
$http.post('/someUrl', {msg:'hello word!'}).
then(function(response) {
// this callback will be called asynchronously
// when the response is available
}, function(response) {
// called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
});

retrieving json data in cross domain

I need to make a ajax call to retrieve data(json) from the RESTfull Web Service which is running in the different domain(KARAF using cxf) and the client from which the ajax call is being made, is on different domain(Apache Tomcat).
The Web Service is returning the data in the form of MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON but due to cross domain call I am receiving the data in the form of jsonp object.
$.ajax({
url: "http://localhost:8181/cxf/view/ID_123",
type: "GET",
crossDomain : true,
contentType: "applicaion/json",
dataType : "jsonp",
jsonpCallback : 'myJsonCallBack',
sucess : function(json) {
alert("Success Called");
},
error : function(xhr) {
alert("Error");
}
});
and the myJsonCallBack funcation is as below..
function myJsonCallBack(data) {
alert("Callback Called");
}
The web service method is as below..
#GET
#Path("/view/{userid}")
public ViewPreference getViewPreference(#PathParam("userid") String userId) {
ViewPreference viewPreference = new ViewPreference("GRID VIEW");
return viewPreference;
}
which is returning json object as below..
{
"viewPreference": {
"preference": "GRID VIEW"
}
}
The problem is when ever I make a ajax call neither the success callback runs nor the myJsonCallBack only error is run.
while checking in firebug it is showing some syntax error telling SyntaxError: missing ; before statement {"viewPreference":{"preference":"GRID VIEW"}}.
How to resolve this problem..?
here's what you should do:
you should return this from the server:
'myJsonCallBack({"viewPreference": {"preference": "GRID VIEW"}})'
rather than this: {"viewPreference": {"preference": "GRID VIEW"}}
this will call the myJsonCallback function and others without syntax errors
hope this helps :)

Get Ajax POST data on php via Javascript call

First I am conface that I am Newbie to php,
I am using jquery(knockout js) at client side & PHP at server side. my code.
Client side: I am using knockout js(Javascript). to call my PHP service.
My Code:
self.VMSaveEditUserMode = function () {
try {
var params = { "ClientData": [controllerVM_.ClientID(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].ClientName(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].ShortName(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].Address(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].CreatedBy(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].CityName(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].PostalCode(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].ContactEmail(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].ContactPhone(), controllerVM_.VMList[0].IsCorporate()] };
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: URL + "index.php/phpService/SaveClient/" + controllerVM_.TokenKey(),
data: JSON.stringify(ko.toJS(params)),
contentType: "application/json",
async: true,
dataType: 'json',
cache: false,
success: function (response) {
},
error: function (ErrorResponse) {
if (ErrorResponse.statusText == "OK") {
}
else {
alert("ErrorMsg:" + ErrorResponse.statusText);
}
}
});
}
catch (error) {
alert("Catch:" + error);
}
}
Server Side My Code, I am using this PHP code to connect with DB.
PHP Code:
public function SaveClient($userToken)
{
$value = json_decode($Clientdata);
echo $value->ClientData[0];
}
*My Question *:
I am not clear on how to POST data in PHP ? I tried with $_POST[''] method as well as many more.
I am using eclipse as a php framework. so, not able to debug it when i post the data.Normally mode i am able to debug my code.but not from remotely.for that i made changes on php.ini file also.
How to get Response of Post Data on php code ?
How to debug via remote post ?
My Request sample:
suppose i use:
For, data: params, only at that time my request format is.
ClientData%5B%5D=4&ClientData%5B%5D=kamlesh&ClientData%5B%5D=KAM&ClientData%5B%5D=Junagadh&ClientData%5B%5D=me&ClientData%5B%5D=SANTA+ROSA&ClientData%5B%5D=76220&ClientData%5B%5D=kamlesh.vadiyatar%40gmail.com&ClientData%5B%5D=9998305904&ClientData%5B%5D=false
For, data: JSON.stringify(ko.toJS(params)),
{"ClientData":["4","kamlesh","KAM","Junagadh","me","SANTA ROSA","76220","kamlesh.vadiyatar#gmail.com","9998305904",false]}
If I understand correctly you need to create a PHP service which is able to receive REST-like requests from client.
In order to do thad you need to access raw POST data. In PHP its being done like this:
$ClientData = file_get_contents('php://input');
You can read more about php://input in the wrappers documentation.
Of course from the client's side the data need to be sent using the POST method and as raw data, i.e. as a string. You can obtain a string from object using JSON.stringify() which you already do.
If you pass an object, it will be converted to string internally by jQuery using query-string format. More on that in the jQuery documentation for $.ajax (the most importatnt options being data and processData).
Just pass the ajax data param as an object, don't convert it into JSON. Then in PHP use $_POST directly.
Use firebug or chrome dev tools to analyze the ajax request and see which data is sent
Use this simple jquery function to accomplish your task
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url:"scripts/dummy.php",
data:"tbl="+table,
dataType:"json", //if you want to get back response in json
beforeSend: function()
{
},
success: function(resp)
{
},
complete: function()
{
},
error: function(e)
{
alert('Error: ' + e);
}
}); //end Ajax
in PHP use:
if(isset($_POST['ClientData'])){
$client_data = $_POST['ClientData']
}
now $client_data variable should contain the array.
For debugging purpose you can use php's built-in print_r() function. It's pretty handy.
here's is an example:
//make sure it's post request
if(isset($_POST)){
//now print the array nicely
echo "<pre>";
print_r($_POST);
echo "</pre>";
}

$.post is not working (anywhere)! Why?

My calls to $.post are not working all over my code. I'm not sending the request to other domains and, actually, I'm doing everything localhosted. My localhost alias was automatically defined by the Mac OS X 10.8 as ramon.local and I'm requesting from http://ramon.local/linkebuy_0.7/resourceX to http://ramon.local/linkebuy_0.7/resourceY. There are no errors on Chrome's console.
The server side doesn't receive the request and I can check it by accessing directly from the browser (typing the URL).
It's not just one call that is not working, none of them are. They were all working days ago and I'm suspicious that I accidentally changed something on my local settings. What could it be?
Here's an example of what I'm facing:
$.post(
<<CORRECT URL INSIDE THE DOMAIN>>,
{},
function(response) {
console.log('THIS SHOULD BE PRINTED ON CONSOLE');
alert('THIS SHOULD BE POPPED UP');
}
);
I don't get the alert, neither the console message while running the code above. So I tried the following:
$.support.cors = true;
$.ajax({
url: "http://ramon.local/linkebuy_0.7",
dataType: "json",
type: "GET",
crossDomain: true,
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
alert(error + " - " + status);
}
});
I just came with $.support.cors = true; and crossDomain: true to check if it was a cross domain issue. So I was alerted No Transport - error same way as before.
What can I do to solve that?
Thanks in advance.
Try this and see if you are getting any alert:
// Assign handlers immediately after making the request,
// and remember the jqxhr object for this request
var jqxhr = $.post("your url", function() {
alert("success");
}).success(function() {
alert("second success");
}).error(function() {
alert("error");
}).complete(function() {
alert("complete");
});
// perform other work here ...
// Set another completion function for the request above
jqxhr.complete(function() {
alert("second complete");
});​
Well, I solved the problem in a very strange way.
I deleted the JQuery file and downloaded it again, replacing the old one. Happens it worked out.
So, if you're:
Making AJAX requests that are not cross-domain;
Using JQuery for it (e.g. $.post, $.get, etc);
Getting No Transport AJAX error
Then re-download and replace you're JQuery source.
Else, if you're making cross-domain requests (not this case), then look for JSONP and try to set $.support.cors = true; at the beginning of you're code.
Thanks everyone for the comments and answers.

jQuery $.getJSON not working

I am try to get a URL from a one server and using that URL to get contents of another server.
$.ajax({url : 'http://localhost:8080/geturl.jsp?A=1&B=2,C=3',
success : function (data)
{
alert(data);
$.getJSON(data, function (mydata)
{
alert(mydata);
});
},
error : function (data, status, xhr)
{
}
});
I know that we cannot make cross-domain requests in through ajax call, thats why i am using getJSON, i have the following problems
When i simply pass the data to the url part of getJSON (as shown in the code), the alert-box show the correct URL but no get request is being performed ( get requests were monitored from FireBug).
When a hard-code the data to be "http://www.google.com" then the get request is being performed but the no response comes, although the response headers comes and response code is 200 (but it was marked as RED in the Firebug (Dont know why :( )
When I tries to fetch a webpage host in localhost domain, then it is fetched correctly although the response was not JSON.
I have the following doubts
If the getJSON function accecpts only JSON objects as reponse then why no error came when perform above 3.
Whats the correct code to perform my the required functionality.
Suggestions to what happened in each case
Thanks in advance for the answers :)
The getJSON function can only be used across domains to fetch JSONP.
It does not magically evade any security restrictions.
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
This should be a working example for jsonp:
var request = jQuery.ajax(
{
url: "http://Your url",
success: function (data) { console.log('success!'); console.log(data); },
error: function (data) { console.log('error!'); console.log(data); },
dataType: "jsonp",
type: "GET",
data: { key: 'value' }
});
