Question

Originally I had quite usual ajax form with json response:

def create
  # created logic omitted as most likely irrelevant
  render :json => {:success => true} #over simplified JSON for debug purposes
end

So far so good, works as expected. I’ve added security on the create action via ssl_requirement gem:

class RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
  ssl_required :create
  # rest of the code omitted, 'create' action as above
end

All of a sudden I get the following in my form response (observing in HttpFox):

Error loading content (NS_ERROR_DOCUMENT_NOT_CACHED)

The create action runs as expected (enforces HTTPS, creates an object but… fails in the browser. To be specific, fails in Firefox (works on chrome). Any clues and ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

I’m not certain, but I believe your problem has to do with cross-site AJAX requests.

The fact that you are using a different protocol is making firefox believe you are making a cross-site request. Chrome, I believe, is less strict with this restriction when on local. Try visiting the site itself over https and see if the AJAX request goes through.
