I'm trying to make an ajax request to the google contacts API with the following setup:
$.ajax({
url: "https://www-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/api/people/@me/@all",
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: {
alt: 'json-in-script'
},
headers: {
'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + token
},
success: function(data, status) {
return console.log("The returned data", data);
}
});
But the Authentication header doesn't seem to get set. Any ideas?
I had the same problem recently. Try this:
$.ajax({
url: "https://www-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/api/people/@me/@all",
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: {
alt: 'json-in-script'
},
success: function(data, status) {
return console.log("The returned data", data);
},
beforeSend: function(xhr, settings) { xhr.setRequestHeader('Authorization','Bearer ' + token); }
});
EDIT: Looks like it can't be done with JSONP. Modify HTTP Headers for a JSONP request
xhr.setRequestHeader doesn't work either. Looks like I need to have a read of the question you linked to.When authentication is needed in a cross domain request, you must use a proxy server of some sort.
Since using dataType: jsonp results in the HTTP request actually being made from the script that gets added to the DOM, the headers set in the $.ajax will not be used.
Is seems that most of the OAUTH2 REST resources accept the access_token parameter as part of the request url
http://self-issued.info/docs/draft-ietf-oauth-v2-bearer.html#query-param
please, try the following code instead:
$.ajax({
dataType: 'jsonp',
url: url,
data: {
'access_token':token.access_token
},
jsonpCallback: 'thecallback',
success: function(data){
_cb(data);
},
error: function(d){
_cb(d);
}
});
Just do this (jquery 2.0, but should work in previous versions)
$.ajax({
url: "/test",
headers: {"Authorization": "Bearer " + $('#myToken').val()}
})
.done(function (data) {
console.log(data);
})
.fail(function (jqXHR, textStatus) {
alert("error: " + textStatus);
});
headers option should be valid even if its JSONP. Request headers are part of the HTTP protocol, JSONP is a app/browser level hack.
