Question

I’m making the following cross-domain post, which hits my Rails app no problem. I get a response back, and it is the response I expect. Except that the “weight: 20” has not been taken into account by my app. I am using CORS to make the request, and in particular I am using the rack-cors gem.

$.ajax({
  url: "http://localhost:3000/australia_post_api_connections",
  type: "GET",
  data: { weight: 20 },
  dataType: 'json',
  crossDomain: true,
  xhrFields: {
    withCredentials: true
  },
  success: function(data) {
    console.log("success");
    $('#shipping-calculator').html(data);

  }
}).fail(function() { console.log("fail") })
  .always(function() { console.log("always") })
  .complete(function() { console.log("complete") });

Am I making a very simple mistake in my JSON, or am I failing to include some CORS related stuff? This tutorial mentions Access-Control-Allow-Headers and Access-Control-Request-Headers. Might that have something to do with it?

Thanks

try appending the weight:20 tot he url so it looks like this
“http://localhost:3000/australia_post_api_connections?weight=20”
or you could do this to the data

data:  JSON.stringify({weight:20})
