Title Body

I have some local html/js files with which I'd like to invoke some remote servers via https and eventually use Basic Authentication for the request. I am encountering two problems. First is that if I don't specify 'jsonp' for the dataType, jQuery.ajax() request returns the error: Access to restricted URI denied code: 1012 Are my requests considered cross-domain because my main work file is stored locally, but retrieving data from a server elsewhere? So fine, I update the call so it now looks like: $.ajax({ url: myServerUrl, type: "GET", dataType: "jsonp", // considered a cross domain Ajax request if not specified username: myUsername, password: myPassword, success: function(result) { // success handling }, error: function(req, status, errThrown){ // error handling } }) Because I need to use Basic Authentication, I'm passing in the username/password but if I monitor the request, I don't see it being set and additionally, the server sends an error response since it doesn't have the expected info. Additionally, because I have jsonp set, beforeSend won't get invoked. How do I pass along the credentials using Basic Authentication for this request?
