@Braiam How to persuade a server to sent an 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header in response to my ajax request?

which would trigger the same comments...

user259867

I think the title is ok, it's consistent with OP's knowledge at the time of asking.

user259867

The fact that that header is something the server sends was unknown at the time.

user259867

Others with the same questions will likely think along the same lines.

Braiam

yeah, but I think that many people hits that question when they shouldn't (ie. they aren't using a Google extension)

user259867

6:41 PM

Right, and the issue had nothing to do with the header after all...

user259867

You could state the problem as it was: Chrome extension unable to get data from a server after switch to https.

user259867

A title that states the actual problem, avoids the XY.

rene

@NormalHuman I had to put origin control somewhere (since is part of the error message)

user259867

@Braiam Chrome extension getting "error message" using ajax after the server switched to https.

user259867

Or drop "using ajax", what else could it be, for an extension.

rene

don't bring it down to HALP, PROBLEM AJAX

Braiam

@rene no, I would leave it as HALP, PROLEMO!

"due to" would be more grammatical.

Anything to avoid "accessing all data on all sites" warning message...

user259867

It's stupid how Google keeps scaring people with warning messages without letting them see the source.

Braiam

6:50 PM

that's part of the issue, the list of sites are dynamic, the user could theoretically add their own domain, like an rss reader

oh that... is another cents

user259867

I recently switched to mostly using Tampermonkey scripts, even though it's a downgrade in some ways. At least there you trust only one, well-known, extension, with the rest being easily inspectable.

Maybe. Probably.

Undo

I'm just afraid that someday a bit will get flipped or something and it'll report the wrong winners, and there'll be unhappiness.

user259867

That's a concern with site-specific chatrooms, much less with the Tavern.

user259867

8:11 PM

The bot can itself say it's unofficial...

There probably should be a disclaimer before the actual message

user259867

It all kind of goes back to Adi's nomination that I mentioned here earlier... unnecessarily polarizing, it cost him at least my vote for sure, and probably a few more. He was still the cult favorite; more #1 picks than anyone else, but rarely the 2nd or 3rd choice of a voter.
