getting CORS blocking JSON request (solved)

Post by mtrax »

I'm writing a simple AJAX request to retrieve upcoming recordings but I'm getting:
the following error:
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at http://mythbox:6544/Dvr/GetUpcomingList?count=3. (Reason: CORS header ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ missing)
is there something I need to do in my AJAX request?

Code: Select all

    $.ajax( {
		  url: "http://mythbox:6544/Dvr/GetUpcomingList", 
		  data: {"count": 3},
		  dataType: 'json',
		  crossDomain: true,

          success: function(response) {
            //var response = transport.responseText.evalJSON() || "no response text";	
				console.log(response);
				}
        });

Hi,

I don't speak AJAX, but you can try: mythbackend --setverbose http:debug on mythbox (that
has the backend already running.) Then look in the backend log, perhaps /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log.

If the backend detects a CORS failure, there are logs for it. There's a setting to allow additional origins, if
that's what's required. "AllowedOriginsList", but there is no GUI for changing it.

I assume that http://mythbox:6544/Dvr/GetUpcomingList works from a browser/curl/wget...

Turn the extra logging off with: mythbackend --setverbose http:alert.

Maybe something like: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/190 ... low-origin
which suggests jsonp rather than json.

Yes it works for curl and php but not for jquery Ajax request for json.
is the AllowedOriginsList setting in database somewhere how do insert /create?

Yes, it's in settings, but isn't likely there as there are defaults.

Code: Select all

https://chromecast.mythtv.org,http://chromecast.mythtvcast.com
But I'd check the logs before going there.

Correct, the setting is for expanding the defaults. Are the any messages in the logs.
Check before changing the DB.

Code: Select all

curl --data Key=AllowedOriginsList --data Value=commaSeparatedListIncludeingDefaultsAbove --data HostName=_GLOBAL_  localhost:6544/Myth/PutSetting
The CORS code was added some time ago but I don't recall the release v29, v30 and v31-Pre have it.
Mention your MythTV version if the above doesn't work.

I assume you tried jsonp and setting crossDomain: false and it still failed. Again, I don't speak AJAX.
