将curl查询转换为jQuery.ajax（）

Question

I have a curl command that work fine. It's a query to a coldfusion server that returns a WDDX :

curl --user 'adminUser:adminPass' 'http://blablabla/app.cfc?method=isSusbscribed&newsletterId=2222&language=en&email=anemal@mail.com'

The result is :

<wddxPacket version='1.0'><header/><data><boolean value='true'/></data></wddxPacket>

This means that the user with the given email receive the newsletter with the id 2222.

Now, I'm trying to write the same command but with Ajax in a js script :

I have tried to do this :

$.ajax({url:'http://blablabla/app.cfc?method=isSusbscribed&newsletterId=2222&language=en&email=anemal@mail.com'
,username:'adminUser'
,password:'adminPass'})
      .done(function(res){
        jRes=$(res).find('boolean[value]');
        if(jRes.length == 1) inputElem.prop('checked', jRes.attr('value')=='true'); 
      }).always(function(res,text){
        console.log(res);
        console.log(text);
      })
      ;

but it doesn't work.

My goal is to put a switch in the ON position if the user is registered to a newsletter.

Probably the syntax of the query is not correct and I think the problem is related to authentication.

Can somebody help me? Thanks

Pretty sure when you do --user in a curl request then it's using Basic Authentication. So you need to use Basic Authentication in your jQuery call. You will also need to Base64 encode your username and password. Something like this:

$.ajax({
  url:'...',
  beforeSend: function(xhr) { 
    xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic YWRtaW5Vc2VyOmFkbWluUGFzcw==");
  }
}).done(function(res){
  // handle success...
});
