Question

I am developing a Dashboard widget for OS X. Using AJAX I am interacting with a remote API. I am using jQuery to ease the ajax implementation. The API I am working with requires a login and uses normal session cookies. I am successfully logging in but doing a subsequent AJAX call fails due to not being logged in. It appears that the widget/jQuery/ajax is not storing/using the session cookie. What am I missing?

function login(e,p) {
    $.ajax({
        url: url + "sessions.json",
        type: "POST",
        data: {
            login: e,
            password: p
        },
        success: function(res) {
            getProjects();
        },
        dataType: 'json',
        xhrFields: {
            withCredentials: true
        }
    });
}

function getProjects() {
    $.ajax({
        url: url + "projects.json",
        type: "GET",
        data: {
        },
        success: function(res) {

            console.log(res);
        },
        dataType: 'json',
        xhrFields: {
            withCredentials: true
        }
    });
}
