[jQuery] $.get ajax call on http page to https on same domain
I'm successfully able to make jQuery $.get ajax calls, everything
works great. But some ajax calls pass credentials, so I need those
calls to be secure. I simply try $.get("https://localhost/ajax.xml",
etc...); instead of http. But now it's not working, instead of an
http get call, I see in firebug an http OPTIONS request is sent to the
server and without the cookies. So my tomcat server returns a
redirect to my login page (as it doesn't see a session id in the
cookie or url) and the ajax call fails..
What's going on? Why doesn't it simply issue the exact same get
request jQuery does when the destination url is http? How can I make
this work?
