IE11 XMLRequest访问被拒绝

Question

I tried to do a simple AJAX request on http://localhost:8080/ and I get an error right away when using IE 11. I don't think IE is even trying to send anything.

Did somebody meet this issue?

Here is a fiddle showing this behavior,

html:

<button id='btn1'>launch</button>

onLoad:

var xhr,btn=document.getElementById('btn1');
btn.onclick=onButton;

var onReadyState=function(){
  console.log('ready state:'+_xhr.readyState);
  if(xhr.readyState===4){
    console.log('status:'+_xhr.status);
  }
}

function onButton(){
  xhr=new window.XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.onreadystatechange=onReadyState;
  xhr.open('POST','http://localhost:8080/ScanAPI/v1/client');
  xhr.send();
}

You will need to launch the IE F12 developer tool, before trying and you will see IE catching the exception.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

It doesn't work because you are referencing an object named _xhr that does not exist within the scope of the onReadyState function.

You should be using this instead :

var onReadyState = function() {
    if (this.readyState === 4) {
        console.log('status :' + this.status);
    }
};

That's because the XMLHttpRequest object will call back onReadyState with its own context, which is accessible through this in your function.

Also note that the onReadyState function misses a semi-colon at the end of its definition, didn't notice it at first sight.

EDIT : I also noticed that IE10 (and IE11) does interpret some HTTP response code as network errors (such as with a 401 response code), if it is your case, then it makes sense that IE fails at retrieving your resource.

I forked your fiddle and wrote a simple page that works well with IE11.
