XMLHttpRequest cross site scripting on same server but differnt port
- by clamp
hello, using XMLHttpRequest it is not possible to open a connection to a document on a different domain than where the page itself is hosted.
but what about different ports?
for example i have a webserver running on my machine listening on port 80 so the webaddress would look like this:
http://localhost:80/mypage.html
and i have another webserver running on localhost which is meant to process the ajax requests but listens on a different port. so the javascript in mypage.html would look like this:
var xmlhttprequest = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://localhost:1234/?parameters", true);
xmlhttp.send();
would this work? or will it give a security exception as well?
