Perform GET request using jquery

Question

I need to perform the following GET request,

telnet somesite.com 80 GET /index.html HTTP/1.0

using javascript, jQuery.

I've tried to follow the instructions in this site in particular the following code:

$.ajax({ url: 'http://somesite.com', success:function(data){ alert(data); } });

but It doesn't work!

Where am I wrong?

You cannot do cross-domain ajax query. see Same origin policy — onionpsy

There's nothing wrong with the code itself, so it does suggest that you're trying to access a page on a different domain, as suggested by @psal above. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy — Reinstate Monica Cellio

Try this one:

$.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "http://somesite.com", timeout: 300000, contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", success: success, error: failure }); function failure(response) { alert(response); } function success(response) { alert(response); }

Seems like there is some issue with URL , is there any method you want to access from this URL?

by your code im assuming you are doing a cross domain ajax request. Which are automatically blocked by the browser.

you can either use the allow domain header using Cors see this Cross Domain Get Request in JS/JQuery

or switch to JSONP

If you want to perform a cross domain request try this

You can use this in your head tag

<script src="https://rawgithub.com/IonicaBizau/jQuery-cross-domain-requests/master/js/jquery.xdomainajax.js"> </script>

code

$.ajax({ url: 'http://somsite.com', // Or your web page link type: 'GET', success: function(res) { alert(res); } });
