Question

I’m trying to access rest service using ajax.
If I’ll paste this link on any web browser it will give a result like this:

{"SessionID":"a7f58a4a-f922-47c1-8351-d2035df4968c","SourceIP":"127.0.0.1","UserID":313}  

(Link has changed for security)
https://thisisjustasample/Rest/Authenticate/Login?username=user&password=pass123&ip=127.0.0.1

But I found no luck to access the link using ajax:

A call from ‘View’ part:

getdata('https://thisisjustasample/Rest/Authenticate/Login?username=user&password=pass123&ip=127.0.0.1');    

Function inside js file:

function getdata(url) {
    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        type: 'GET',
        contentType: 'application/json',
        success: function (data) {
            if (data) {
                showtooltip(data);
            }
        },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, error) {
            showtooltip(xhr.status + ': ' + error);
        }
    });
}  

It always return a ‘0’ status. And when I check my database, nothing has changed with the data. What is wrong with the code?

I have a feeling the problem is that you are specifying a content type of json when you shouldn’t specify a contentType, and your params should be part of data.

$.ajax({
    url: "https://thisisjustasample/Rest/Authenticate/Login",
    type: 'GET',
    data: "username=user&password=pass123&ip=127.0.0.1",
    success: function (data) {
        if (data) {
            showtooltip(data);
        }
    },
    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, error) {
        showtooltip(xhr.status + ': ' + error);
    }
});
