Ajax https request issue

Question

Hi friends,

When I am calling a REST service through AJAX, its working fine. I am calling it with the URL staring with HTTP e.g.: http://www.myserver.com/customers. Its works really great.

But when I am calling a same URL but with HTTPs e.g.: https://www.myserver.com/customers, I am not getting any response from server.

Its not working for GET or POST both. Its not working in Mac firefox, actually I am developing an application for iPhone using phonegap framework. Its also not working in iPhone simulator's mobile safari. Can anyone here know what problem is this? And how to solve this?

Answer 1

The requesting domain must match the requested domain down to the protocol, according to the Same Origin Policy

Answer 2

It could probably be because of same origin policy. read
