The process I followed was creating a rails 3.0 scaffold and exposing it using json, keeping it running.
When accessing http://localhost:3001/objects.json
I can view json data in the browser
Next, I had a simple html file with code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.min.js included. Opening this page in Firefox (Ubuntu), then opening the firebug console, I attempted the following:
var myurl = 'http://localhost:3001/objects.json';
$.ajax({
url: myurl,
dataType: 'jsonp',
error: function(data){ console.log("error:"+data); console.log("error:"+data.readyState); },
success: function(data){ console.log("success:"+data); }
});
The goal was to fetch the same json in the success handler. What I have noticed so far is:
If I specify dataType as 'jsonp'
- I receive the json response (verified in firebug:Net), identical to what I see in the browser
- The success function is not triggered
- The error function is called, with status code = 4, and status = "success"
Otherwise, I get
A blank response
Additionally, I consistently receive a 200 status code back.
Any clues on what could be happening here?
Below is my server-side code and log information
Code snippet =>
# GET /objects
# GET /objects.json
def index
@objects = Object.all
respond_to do |format|
format.html # index.html.erb
format.json {
render :json => @objects.to_json, :layout => nil
}
end
end
Sample of the log =>
