Having some bad luck with getting amazon AWS security token from jQuery or XMLHttpRequest. When I send a HTTP GET from jQuery or XmlHttpRequest, I get "Origin http:// MY_IP is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.", but if I paste the same URL in my browser, it all goes fine.
My code:
var url_ = "https://sts.amazonaws.com/?Action=GetSessionToken" +             "&DurationSeconds=3600" +             "&AWSAccessKeyId=" + AccessKeyId +             "&Version=2011-06-15" +             "&Timestamp=" + encode(timestamp) +             "&Signature=" + encode(hash) +             "&SignatureVersion=2&SignatureMethod=HmacSHA256"; $.get(url_, function(data) { alert("response: "+data); });   My Headers:
