Cross domain POST query using Cross-Origin Resource Sharing getting no data back

Question

I\'m sending data cross domain via a POST request but the response isn\'t working, specifically, jQuery\'s success handler never gets called.

I don't think this is possible for security reasons. The only cross domain ajax calls which browsers allow, can be done using JSONP and these are exclusively GET requests.

This will work:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://somesite.com/someplace",
    type: "GET",
    cache: false,
    dataType: "JSONP",
    data: { ... },
    success: function( msg ) {
        alert(msg);
    },
});

This won't:

$.ajax({
    url: "http://somesite.com/someplace",
    type: "POST",
    cache: false,
    dataType: "JSONP",
    data: { ... },
    success: function( msg ) {
        alert(msg);
    },
});
