Question

I am presently working on two different linux boxes in the same network. Now I have my extjs javascript/front end code running on one linux box, while I have a web service and my database sitting on another linux box. Both these boxes have apache webserver and can function independently. Now when I fire/load my UI, I would be using a url which looks like

http://server1/user/page.php and when I fire up my web service(returns json data) I would be using a url of http://server2/user/service.php.

Now this service returns the options which have to loaded into the combo-box. Now, Extjs provides us with an option of using http-proxy to mention a url from where the options/data would be provided.

So, I believe, it has to make a call to that url and get the data from that service. But the wierd thing is, it does not even make a call to that address. Am I making a mistake with this?? I have been tracking all the ajax calls, but no call was made for this url. If I do remove the http address and just place it as service.php(for checking), then it makes a call to the address http://server1/user/service.php and returns a 404 not found error.

Could somebody point to the mistake that I am making.

Thank you

• First, familiarize yourself with the concept and limitations of Cross-site HTTP requests
• Then, modify your JS code to use ScriptTagProxy instead of HttpProxy
