POHow can I send an AJAX request to a node.js server via HTTPS?
text
Body
copied!<p>I have the following node.js server set up listening to port 9001</p> <pre><code>var https = require('https'); var fs = require('fs'); var qs = require('querystring'); var options = { key: fs.readFileSync('privatekey.pem'), cert: fs.readFileSync('certificate.pem') }; https.createServer(options, function (req, res) { res.writeHead(200); console.log('Request Received!'); console.log(req.method); if (true || req.method == 'POST') { var body = ''; req.on('data', function (data) { body += data; }); req.on('end', function () { console.log(body); var POST = qs.parse(body); console.log(POST); }); } res.end("hello, world\n"); }).listen(9001); </code></pre> <p>and I am trying to get this server to respond to an AJAX call </p> <pre><code>function form_save() { console.log("submitted!"); var data_obj = { data1: "item1", data2: "item2" } $.ajax({ url: 'https://adam.testserver.com:9001/', type: "POST", dataType: "json", data: data_obj, success: function() { console.log("success!"); }, complete: function() { console.log("complete!"); } }); } </code></pre> <p>There are two problems occurring with my arrangement. The first is that if I start the server and then click the button that triggers my form_save() the node server does not respond and I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>submitted! OPTIONS https://adam.testserver.com:9001/ Resource failed to load jQuery.extend.ajaxjquery.js:3633 $.ajaxjquery.validate.js:1087 form_savew_worksheet.php:64 confirm_deletew_worksheet.php:95 jQuery.event.handlejquery.js:2693 jQuery.event.add.handlejquery.js:2468 w_worksheet.php:73 complete! </code></pre> <p>At this point if I access that url directy (https://adam.testserver.com:9001/) I get the expected "hello, world" output as well as the console message "Request Received! GET". From this point on if I click the button to trigger my AJAX call I get a new error.</p> <pre><code>submitted! XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://adam.testserver.com:9001/. Origin https://adam.testserver.com is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin. w_worksheet.php:73 complete! </code></pre> <p>I don't understand why I get this message as both my form and node server reside on the same server. Thanks for taking the time to read, I appreciate any help I can get on this. I've been stuck for a while now!</p>
