Cross domain Post method ajax call using jQuery with XML response

Question

I want to send a ajax request using post method with the XML as a response text, Is it possible, If it is possible please let me know the possible way for it.

For Ex

url : "http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate"
data : {FromCurrency:"INR",ToCurrency:"AUD"}
method : GET or POST

http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate?FromCurrency=INR&ToCurrency=AUD

I need the response of this URL using ajax.

Answer 1

You can use YQL ,

var url = 'http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx/ConversionRate?FromCurrency=INR&ToCurrency=AUD'; // website you want to scrape
var yql = 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=' + encodeURIComponent('select * from xml where url="' + url + '"') + '&format=json&callback=?';  
$.getJSON(yql,function(data){  
    if(data.query.results){
        var result = data.query.results.double.content.replace(/<script[^>]*>[\s\S]*?<\/script>/gi, '');
        alert(result);
    }
});

Answer 2

You can write your own script on server on the same domain that does request to the webservicex.net and returns data in any format that you want.

So, ajax request -> your server (on the same domain) -> webservicex.net

Answer 3

It seems that server does not support CORS. Then you won't be able to do this with an ajax call due to the same origin policy
