require.js text plugin adds “.js” to the file name

Question

I\'m trying to work with requirejs and text plugin and I have weird problem.

I have two web servers:

1. localhost:3000 - act as CDN and h

Answer 1

The documentation of the text plugin gives a hint to the solution: It's possible to configure the plugin in a way that it always fetches remote resources via XHR without appending the .js suffix and loading it via script tag. The simple solution is to always enforce using XHR:

requirejs.config({
   config: {
      text: {
         useXhr: function (url, protocol, hostname, port) {
            return true;
         }
      }
   }
});

Note that the remote server needs to set the correct CORS header and that this could be a security issue. Thus add the necessary checks for trusted urls when using this instead of simply returning true.
