Send post to a different domain using JS

Question

I'd like a post request to be sent once a certain text input field is changed, using javascript.

So here is my current code:

<input name="message" onchange="$.ajax({type: \"POST\", url: \"http://example.com/example.php\", data: \"message=\" + document.getElementsByName(\"message\")[0].value});" />

Now, it's working on a regular connection, but it's not working on a secured connection (SSL). I mean, the page is secured, but the request is sent to a non secured page.

Is there a solution?

Answer 1

Set the target attribute of the form to point to a hidden iframe.

You won't be able to read the response, but you can make the request.

If you want to read the response, you will need to proxy the request through your own server.
