Noob AJAX Question

Hey guys,

So I've read the manual entry about enabling AJAX requests to be cross-domain, yet I'm still getting errors. So there's SOMETHING I'm missing... What I'm trying to do is to request local weather information based on IP geolocation. No matter what I do, my requests return "error". Any ideas what I might be missing? As I said, I read the manual entry, and thought I followed it as instructed, but I'm not getting a change in results. I'm feeling very noob at the moment, help?

Post php scripts and capx.

Can you provide some code in order to make an idea and come with a solution?

My code is like this:

System | On Start of Layout: AJAX - Request "http://api.ipinfodb.com/v3/ip-city/?key=(my api key)" (tag "Location")

AJAX | On "Location" Progress : Text | Set text to "Working"

AJAX | On "Location" Error : Text | Set text to "Error"

AJAX | On "Location" Completed: Text | Set text to "Completed"

this always returns "Error"

according to the manual if I add "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *" then it is supposed to allow cross-domain requests, but I can't seem to make it work, it just keeps returning "Error" in my Text field...

Sorry to bump guys, I'm still stuck and not making any headway at all, there's clearly something obvious I'm missing :S

Please any dev answer this... Please make a tutorial teaching how to configure construct or the webserver to allow crossdomain. There are a lot of people asking the same question and the manuals are totally vague on this subject.

I configured my apache webserver to include Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header and still not working. what to do next?

We need more info!

Why don't you just use like Amazon Web Services free web servers (EC2), then you won't be making same origin calls.

However, I did get the Same Origin calls working on my local development machine.

Here are the relevant Apache settings:

<Directory />

AllowOverride None

Options FollowSymLinks

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

</Directory>

DocumentRoot "D:/Apache HTTPD 2.4.3/htdocs"

<Directory "D:/Apache HTTPD 2.4.3/htdocs">

AllowOverride None

</Directory>

However, I am only using Apache as a proxy gateway server, not the content delivery server. I run all requests through Apache back to a Tomcat serlvet container which feeds all game data.
