crossdomain xmlhttprequest + asp

[clara1234]

Hi,

I have an aspx page and use xmlhttprequest to call another page "/temp/test.asp" like this.

var xmlHttp = false;
/*@cc_on @*/
/*@if (@_jscript_version >= 5)
try {
  xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (e) {
  try {
    xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  } catch (e2) {
    xmlHttp = false;
  }
}
if (!xmlHttp && typeof XMLHttpRequest != 'undefined') {
  xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
}


var url = "/temp/test.asp";
xmlHttp.open("GET", url, true);
xmlHttp.send(null);

The test.asp has just one line of code
Response.redirect("http://www.google.com");


But the response.redirect does not work.

Please tell me if this code should work.Else please suggest an alternative.

If you want to redirect to a particular page based on what your asp script designates, then simply have the ASP script respond back with the url, and have javascript read it in, and do document.location.replace() on the url you recieved back.

I think I might have explained the problem in a wrong way. ..


This code is a simple prototype of what I would like to accomplish in a more complex scenario.

The first aspx file actually sends requests to several asp files using xmlhtprequest and uses a document.location to take the user to a different page.

Each of these asp files inturn redirect to other crossdomain urls to kickoff some business processing. ..NO response is required from any of these crossdomain urls.

We are doing this kind of processing since we dont want the user to be aware or wait for the background processing happening behind the first aspx file.

Please suggest how this can be done.
