Question

Is it possible to use jQuery.ajax() in node.js exactly as it is syntax-wise?

I am trying to share non-UI browser code with node.js. I do not want to replace all the existing function calls with my own wrapper.

Currently when I try it, it would say “No Transport” by default because jQuery does domain detection. If I turn it off by setting jQuery.support.cors it would say XMLHttpRequest.open() not available.

I was able to solve the “No Transport” issue using the XMLHttpRequest module, like this:

var $ = require('jquery'),
    XMLHttpRequest = require('xmlhttprequest').XMLHttpRequest;

$.support.cors = true;
$.ajaxSettings.xhr = function() {
    return new XMLHttpRequest();
};
