AJAX and web service in Safari

[bookmac]

Hello

In Safari, (cant do it in Firefox because of security restriction) I'm
trying to access a web service in another domain via

function doAjax() {
xmlhttp.open("POST",
"http://company.com.au/dir/servlet/rpcrouter",true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = myreturnmethod;
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
xmlhttp.send('input=88921');
}
and I'm getting this error back from the Web Service:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode>
<faultstring>parsing error: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Document
root element is missing.</faultstring>
<faultactor>/aplus2006/servlet/rpcrouter</faultactor>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Anybody can shed some light?

Thank you.

What happens when you visit
http://company.com.au/dir/servlet/rpcrouter?input=88921 (or whatever)
in your browser? You should get a valid XML document. As it is, I
would take your SOAP message at its word here. Sounds like your
webservice is not behaving. This is most likely not at all a
JavaScript or browser-dependent problem here.

Besides, you don't want to do cross-domain web service calls anyway.
Nobody else is going to be able to use them unless (apparently) they're
also using Safari, which is like 2% of the market. Also, there are
ways around this - the standard one being, set up a proxy script on
your own server (usually only a couple of lines necessary) to fetch the
data from the remote domain and serve it to your XHR calls. There are
also techniques involving cross-domain iframes, though I understand IE7
has just killed this as a security measure. Anyway, try setting up a
small server proxy for starters and your life will be much simpler.

Good luck!

It seems to me almost clear : "root element is missing"

What make your 'myreturnmethod' function ?

I am writing an Apple Mac OS X Widget which can do cross-domain
invocations ( I believe) when its deployed as a widget after developing
it in Safari. Just in answer to your question.

and you "believe" this is possible doing cross-domain ajax without a
proxy ?
