[Dancer-users] cross domain ajax to dancer app

[Alex Kalderimis]

That is exactly right. In this context the server is the whole stack, including your webapp, which is solely responsible for getting the content right. 

Dancer makes writing webapps easier, but it doesn't do everything. Perhaps this is a good area for a plugin or some sugar though...

On more research, I think I understand better what you are suggesting. I don't have access to my server ritnow, but I am guessing I would have to do something like follows


>> get '/poly.:format' => sub {
>> my $poly = params->{'BBOX'};

get '/poly.:format' => sub {
    my $poly = params->{'BBOX'};
 + my $callback = params->{'callback'};
    my $res = recs_within_poly($poly);
 + $res = $callback . '(' . $res . ')';
    return $res;
}


Does the above make sense?

From my side (the client side), I am specifying that it is a JSONP request, and I am even specifying the callback param. From what I understand, as you state above, the server is supposed to send back the JSON stream wrapped in the function callback. Let me read that again -- the server is supposed to do the above. Dancer is the responding server, and it is not doing so, as you confirm above. So, how do I read the callback param myself?

The web inspector complains that "Resource interpreted as script but transferred with MIME type application/json." I am wondering if there is something in the second dancer app (the one that returns the result) which is setting a wrong header that is causing the callback to not be tripped. The code in the second dancer app looks like so
