var dataParams = "USER=testuser&PASSWORD=testpwd&target=https://mobilesite.com";

    $.ajax({

            type: 'POST',
            url: remoteUrl,
            data: dataParams,
            success: function(data) {   
                console.log(data);                  
            },
            dataType: 'JSON'

        }); // End of Ajax Call

I'm attempting to make an JQuery Ajax call to a remote site. I'm sending a set of parameters to that site and in return I'm supposed to get a JSON formatted response back. Actually, the call gets to the remote site which returns a 302 then redirects me to another site which in return just stays in "pending" status and kick out the below error message...

"GET https://remoteUrl.com undefined (undefined)"

Any ideas? Am I missing something? I've also tried setting async to false, but that just returned an access denied. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks

Perhaps remove the URL from dataParams? Or are you defining remoteUrl earlier?

Updated:

var dataParams = "USER=testuser&PASSWORD=testpwd";
var remoteUrl = "https://mobilesite.com";

    $.ajax({

            type: 'POST',
            url: remoteUrl,
            data: dataParams,
            success: function(data) {   
                console.log(data);                  
            },
            dataType: 'jsonp',
            crossDomain: true

        }); // End of Ajax Call

  • Yes, remoteUrl is being defined. the URL in dataParams is required by the api author, as they take the params and send them to that url. – user720753 Apr 22 '11 at 16:29
  • Is the URL on a different domain? Try adding crossDomain: true – Paul Apr 22 '11 at 16:32
  • Yes, the URL is on a different domain. No cigar with crossDomain. I've also tried cache: false. I tried making this api call with my firefox REST extension, and oddly enough it returns the proper JSON :(. Go figure. – user720753 Apr 22 '11 at 16:38
  • Ok try dataType: 'jsonp' and see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3506208/jquery-ajax-cross-domain – Paul Apr 22 '11 at 16:50
  • Yes Paul, I changed dataType to 'jsonp', but now the ajax call switches to 'GET' instead 'POST'according to the network console tab in chrome.... – user720753 Apr 22 '11 at 18:28
  • I'm at a loss for now, unless you can give more specific details (i.e. the actual site and dummy testing login) – Paul Apr 23 '11 at 23:26

Have you tried setting the crossdomain attribute to true (this handles redirection in jQuery 1.5+)?

$.ajax({

        type: 'POST',
        url: remoteUrl,
        crossDomain: true,
        data: dataParams,
        success: function(data) {   
            console.log(data);                  
        },
        dataType: 'JSON'

    }); // End of Ajax Call
