Hi All,

I have a login HTML form as shown below:

<div id="wrap">
 
            <div id="window" caption="Login">
                <div>
                    
                        <table>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Username:</td>
                                <td><input style="width: 150px;" type="text" name="user" id = "username" /></td>
                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td>Password:</td>
                                <td><input style="width: 150px;" type="password" name="password" id = "password" /></td>
                            </tr>
                            <tr>
                                <td colspan="2" align="right" valign="bottom">
                                    
                                    <input type="button" id="submit" value="Login" />
                                </td>
                            </tr>
                        </table>
                    
                </div>
            </div>

I am making a POST Ajax call like the following:


jQuery(document).ready(function () {

           
            var loginUrl = "/MyWebApp/authenticate"

            $( "#submit" ).click(function(e) {
               
                 e.preventDefault();

                 var userNAME = $("#username").val();
                 var passWord = $("#password").val();

                 var ajaxRequest = jQuery.ajax({
                    
                    data: {
                        username: userNAME,
                        password: passWord 
                    },
                    dataType: "json",
                    method: "POST",
                    url: loginUrl
                })
                .done(function (data_, textStatus_, jqXHR_) {

                 // Some code here   
                 
                })

                .fail(function (jqXHR_, textStatus_, errorThrown_) {
                    alert("Hitting the Fail function : Error in authenticate webservice: " + errorThrown_);
                    return false;
                });

            });

When I type on my browser https://mydomainname.com/ , I see the alert window mentioned in the fail function above with the message : Hitting the Fail function : Error in authenticate webservice: Method Not Allowed. The same I see in the browser console as well like the following:

POST https://mydomainname.com/MyWebApp/authenticate 405 (Method Not Allowed)

Could anyone please tell me what’s wrong I am doing? Is it SSL related issue? Or is there a way I can stop the prepending of URL https://mydomainname.com and can have just absolute path displayed on browser console like the following POST /MyWebApp/authenticate

With ajax function you are try to connect via server to another url file.I think that is CORS issue that prevents you to post.
Try only with method: "GET" and let us know if this work.

Actually every thing is on the same server. So it shouldn’t be CORS I guess. Basically, the URL https://mydomainname.com is served by Apache which has SSL certificate installed and webservices are in tomcat which doesn’t have the certificate. Can this be issue?
