I wanted to make a get request to wikipedia. But CORS policy is been violated.What i was doing is this…
function searchAuthor(element)
{
var authorname=$(element).text();
var ourrequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
ourrequest.open('get','https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'+authorname);
ourrequest.onload=function()
{
console.log(authorname);
}
ourrequest.send();
}
What i have tried
function searchAuthor(element)
{
var authorname=$(element).text();
var url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'+authorname;
makeCorsRequest(url);
}
// Create the XHR object.
function createCORSRequest(method, url) {
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
if ("withCredentials" in xhr) {
// XHR for Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari.
xhr.open(method, url, true);
} else if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined") {
// XDomainRequest for IE.
xhr = new XDomainRequest();
xhr.open(method, url);
} else {
// CORS not supported.
xhr = null;
}
return xhr;
}
// Helper method to parse the title tag from the response.
function getTitle(text) {
return text.match('<title>(.*)?</title>')[1];
}
// Make the actual CORS request.
function makeCorsRequest(url) {
// This is a sample server that supports CORS.
var xhr = createCORSRequest('GET', url);
if (!xhr) {
alert('CORS not supported');
return;
}
// Response handlers.
xhr.onload = function() {
var text = xhr.responseText;
var title = getTitle(text);
alert('Response from CORS request to ' + url + ': ' + title);
};
xhr.onerror = function() {
alert('Woops, there was an error making the request.');
};
xhr.send();
}
But with no luck.
Any guidance will be helpful!
thanks!!
