When using firebug, I attempted to make the following AJAX call:
var rootUrl = 'http://172.24.105.22:8080/geoserver/Chennai_Sub/ows';
var defaultParameters = {
service: 'WFS',
version: '1.0.0',
request: 'GetFeature',
typeName: 'Chennai_Sub:Link',
maxFeatures: 200,
outputFormat: 'application/json',
format_options: 'callback: getJson'
};
$.ajax({
url: rootUrl,
data: defaultParameters,
success: function () {
console.log("victory");
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
console.log(textStatus);
}
});
The AJAX call failed with a response object containing these details:
readyState 4
status 404
statusText "error"
Surprisingly, when manually entering the URL (
http://172.24.105.22:8080/geoserver/Chennai_Sub/ows?service=WFS&version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&typeName=Chennai_Sub%3ALink&maxFeatures=200&outputFormat=application%2Fjson&format_options=callback%3A+getJson(It's worth noting that I ran the firebug session on this URL as well: http://172.24.105.22:3000/layer, so CORS issues are ruled out.)
