jquery ajax get responsetext from http url

Question

Neither:

var response = $.ajax({
    type: \"GET\",   
    url: \"http://www.google.de\",   
    async: false,
    success : function() {
        alert (this         


        

Answer 1

Since jQuery AJAX requests fail if they are cross-domain, you can use cURL (in PHP) to set up a proxy server.

Suppose a PHP file responder.php has these contents:

$url = "https://www.google.com";
$ch      = curl_init( $url );
curl_set_opt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, "true")
$response= curl_exec( $ch );
curl_close( $ch );
return $response;

Your AJAX request should be to this responder.php file so that it executes the cross-domain request.
