Perform GET request using jquery

Question

I need to perform the following GET request,

telnet somesite.com 80
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0

using javascript, jQuery.

I've tried to follow the instructions in this site in particular the following code:

$.ajax({
  url: 'http://somesite.com',
  success:function(data){
    alert(data);
  }
});

but It doesn't work!

Where am I wrong?

You cannot do cross-domain ajax query. see [Same origin policy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy) — onionpsy, Oct 31 '13 at 10:57
There's nothing wrong with the code itself, so it does suggest that you're trying to access a page on a different domain, as suggested by @psal above. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same-origin_policy — Reinstate Monica Cellio, Oct 31 '13 at 10:58

Try this one:

$.ajax({
        type: "GET",  
         url: "http://somesite.com",
     timeout: 300000,
 contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
     success: success,
       error: failure
});

function failure(response) {
    alert(response);
}
function success(response) {
    alert(response);
}

Seems like there is some issue with URL , is there any method you want to access from this URL? – Priya Gund Oct 31 '13 at 11:10

by your code im assuming you are doing a cross domain ajax request. Which are automatically blocked by the browser.

you can either use the allow domain header using Cors see this Cross Domain Get Request in JS/JQuery

or switch to JSONP
