Joomla 4 Component Development & AJAX - not opening URL but itself

I am trying to develop a component in Joomla 4. I have a simple button that should fire of a script to update the database.
I can make the call to the JavaScript ok, but the JavaScript does not appear to open the request URL, if anything it opens the current URL or refreshes the page. The script works fine outside of Joomla but not inside.
I have tried both the following, and the same thing happens:
*function buttonLike()
{
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
var parentEl = this.parentElement;
//var url = 'index.php?com_reflect&format=raw;
var url = 'liked.php';
console.log('Get Here OK' + parentEl.id);
xhr.open('GET', 'liked.php', true);
// Form data is sent appropriately as a POST request
xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
xhr.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With', 'XMLHttpRequest');
xhr.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
if(xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200)
{
var result = xhr.responseText;
console.log('Never Here Result: ' + result);
}
if(xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 0)
{
console.log('Always Here');
}
};
xhr.send("id=" + parentEl.id);
}*
OR
function buttonLike()
{
//var url = 'index.php?com_reflect&format=raw;
var url = 'liked.php';
var request = new Ajax(url, {
method: 'post',
update: some_div,
data: options,
onComplete: function (){
$('some_field').setHTML('I am finished!');
}
}).request();
Been going round in circles on this one, any help would be appreciated.

XMLHttpRequest state never goes to DONE

I got this mvc core application. One of its methods looks like this(for now)
public IActionResult Call(string call)
{
Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
return Ok (call);
}
and a javascript in browser looks like that
var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhttp.withCredentials = true;
xhttp.open("GET", request, true);
xhttp.onreadystatechange = function ()
{
if (this.readyState == 4)
{
if (this.status == 200)
{
SetAnswerText(this.responseText);
}
else
{
SetApiCallTextAreaValue("request - \n" + request + "\n failed; status = " + this.status);
}
}
else
{
SetApiCallTextAreaValue("current status is " + this.readyState + "\n" + this.responseText);
}
}
for some reason, I get only notification with readystate==3(LOADING), and never.. with readystate==4(DONE) which im expecting.
Can you help me figuring it out why thats happaning?
btw, if I open an url to this Call method in browser like https://..../Call/?call=123 it works absoulutely fine..

omg.. forgot to change function name from SetAnswerText to SetApiCallTextAreaValue..
have to sleep more..
found a error only when I looked at code in browser :P

xhr does not get invoked from js

i am using phonegap and trying to invoke a xhr POST on click of a button.
my flow goes to the method call but doesn't invoke the xhr code and i am failing to understand why.
The call looks like:
function fetchTags(){
console.log("Fetched url is:" + IMAGE_URL);
//var url = "http://localhost:8080/echo";
var url ="http://localhost:8080/echo";
console.log("#1");
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
console.log("#2");
xhr.addEventListener("error", onError);function onError(evt) { console.log("An error occurred while transferring the file."); }
console.log("#3");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
console.log("#4");
xhr.open('POST', url, true);
console.log("#5");
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (xhr.readyState == 4 && xhr.status == 200) {
var response = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText);
window.alert(response);
}else{
window.alert(xhr.status);
}
};
console.log("#5");
//var msg = "{'message' : '" + IMAGE_URL + "'}";
console.log("sending request");
xhr.send(JSON.stringify({"message" : "my msg"}));
}
Button code:
<button class="button button-raised larger" type="button" onclick="fetchTags()">Vision</button>
The console prints:
Fetched url is:undefined
#1
#2
#3
To clarify i can see first console.log getting printed. but that's it. nothing happens after that.

just for everyone's benefit the issue was not the javascript but invoking from the phonegap using the localhost.
I was unders the assumption that phonegap will be able to access my api at localhost (not sure why had this stupid idea) but yes using the actual ip of the host machine made it work right away.

Add header to http request

My first post here.
I'm using droidscript and I have to include an header that contains a specific user and a password in order to retrieve a token. I'm having trouble because I don't know where to include those headers.
That's the code I'm using:
function btn_OnTouch(){
var url = "myurl";
SendRequest(url);
}
//Send an http get request.
function SendRequest(url){
var httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
httpRequest.onreadystatechange = function() {
HandleReply(httpRequest);
};
httpRequest.open("GET", url, true);
httpRequest.send(null);
app.ShowProgress("Loading...");
}
//Handle the servers reply (a json object).
function HandleReply(httpRequest){
if (httpRequest.readyState == 4){
//If we got a valid response.
if (httpRequest.status == 200){
txt.SetText("Response: " + httpRequest.status + httpRequest.responseText);
}
//An error occurred
else
txt.SetText("Error: " + httpRequest.status + httpRequest.responseText);
}
app.HideProgress();
}
The told me I should probably include the headers like this, but I don't know where to put them in my code.
httpRequest.setRequestHeader(“username”, “myuser”);
httpRequest.setRequestHeader(“password”, “mypass”);

You need to do it just after calling the open method like this:-
httpRequest.open("GET", url, true);
httpRequest.setRequestHeader("username", "myuser");
httpRequest.setRequestHeader("password", "mypass");
httpRequest.send(null);

make a post request in js and open its results in a new window

I have a js file, containing a folder myFunc(phone_number)
Now when this js function is called, I want to make a POST request to the URI https://pay.something.in:443/FetchPhone/ passing the json {'phone_number' : 10 digit phone no. } as input to the request
and show its output in a new window.
Can somebody tell me how do I do that?

Seems to me like you want to make a POST request with xhr.
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open('POST', "https://pay.something.in:443")
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/json");
xhr.send( '{"phone_number" : 4455566677 }' );
xhr.onreadystatechange = function(){
if (xhr.readyState != 4) return;
if (xhr.status != 200 && xhr.status != 304) {
alert('HTTP error ' + req.status);
return;
}
console.log(xhr.responseText);//this is your response
window.sessionStorage['response'] = xhr.responseText;
window.open('Your window');//The data is accessible through sessionStorage.
}
