When indicating HTTP Basic Authentication we return something like: WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=”myRealm” Whereas Basic is the scheme and the remainder is very much dependent on that scheme. In this case realm just provides the browser a literal that can be displayed to the user when prompting for the user id and password. You’re obviously not … Read more
XMLHttpRequest is a built-in object in web browsers. It is not distributed with Node. The http module is the built-in tool for making HTTP requests from Node. Most people making HTTP requests from node use a third party library with a friendlier API. Two popular choices are Axios (for use both in Node.js and browsers) … Read more
Something like this: $.ajax({ url : ‘someurl’, type : ‘POST’, data : …., tryCount : 0, retryLimit : 3, success : function(json) { //do something }, error : function(xhr, textStatus, errorThrown ) { if (textStatus == ‘timeout’) { this.tryCount++; if (this.tryCount <= this.retryLimit) { //try again $.ajax(this); return; } return; } if (xhr.status == 500) … Read more
To avoid this warning, do not use: async: false in any of your $.ajax() calls. This is the only feature of XMLHttpRequest that’s deprecated. The default is async: true, so if you never use this option at all, your code should be safe if the feature is ever really removed. However, it probably won’t be … Read more
Not according to the W3C standard for the XMLHttpRequest object (emphasis added): If the response is an HTTP redirect: If the origin of the URL conveyed by the Location header is same origin with the XMLHttpRequest origin and the redirect does not violate infinite loop precautions, transparently follow the redirect while observing the same-origin request … Read more
You have to get the files length to append in JS and then send it via AJAX request as below //JavaScript var ins = document.getElementById(‘fileToUpload’).files.length; for (var x = 0; x < ins; x++) { fd.append(“fileToUpload[]”, document.getElementById(‘fileToUpload’).files[x]); } //PHP $count = count($_FILES[‘fileToUpload’][‘name’]); for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) { echo ‘Name: ‘.$_FILES[‘fileToUpload’][‘name’][$i].'<br/>’; }
NOTE: The accepted answer does not yield the actual response because it is getting called too early. You can do this which will generically intercept any AJAX globally and not screw up any callbacks etc. that maybe have been assigned by any third party AJAX libraries. (function() { var origOpen = XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open; XMLHttpRequest.prototype.open = function() … Read more
This error is happening because you are just opening html documents directly from the browser. To fix this you will need to serve your code from a webserver and access it on localhost. If you have Apache setup, use it to serve your files. Some IDE’s have built in web servers, like JetBrains IDE’s, Eclipse… … Read more
This is almost always true. One significant difference, however, is that the onreadystatechange event handler also gets triggered with readyState==4 in the cases where the onerror handler is usually triggered (typically a network connectivity issue). It gets a status of 0 in this case. I’ve verified this happens on the latest Chrome, Firefox and IE. … Read more
Actually php://input allows you to read raw request body. It is a less memory intensive alternative to $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA and does not need any special php.ini directives. From Reference php://input is not available with enctype=”multipart/form-data”.
