I just can’t get the ajax service to work. A simple class to $.get("http://google.com") does not work. Also, this code does not work, too:

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <script>

        $.ajax({
            url:        "http://google.com",
            dataType:   "html",
            success:    function(data, status) {
                console.log("Success:");
                console.log("    Data: " + data);
                console.log("    Status: " + status);
            },
            error:      function(request, status, error) {
                console.log("Error:");
                console.log("    Request: " + request);
                console.log("    Status: " + status);
                console.log("    Error: " + error);
            },
        });

        </script>
    </body>
</html>

saved in test.html.

This is the output on the console:

Error:
    Request: [object Object]
    Status: error
    Error:

And these are the, I guess, important values of the returned object:

readyState          0
responseText        ""
status              0
statusText          "error"

Why does the request not work?
Thank you,

    You can’t use AJAX to access cross-domain scripts like that. This is because of the Same Origin Policy — something which has been implemented for security reasons:

    This mechanism bears a particular significance for modern web
    applications that extensively depend on HTTP cookies to maintain
    authenticated user sessions, as servers act based on the HTTP cookie
    information to reveal sensitive information or take state-changing
    actions. A strict separation between content provided by unrelated
    sites must be maintained on client side to prevent the loss of data
    confidentiality or integrity.

    So you have a few options:

    1. Just call scripts on your own server
    2. Call scripts on your server which can communicate with third-party sites/apps/scripts
    3. Use either JSONP or XML as a callback format.
