Hello
I need to get the results of this api request http://mongol.brono.com/mongol/api.php?commandname=get_units&user=juanpablo2&pass=misoft2013&format=xml1[^] from javascript or jquery. In C # is easy with HttpWebRequest and GetResponseStream. Like

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://mongol.brono.com/mongol/api.php?commandname=get_units&format=xml1&user=juanpablo2&pass=misoft2013");
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Stream resStream = response.GetResponseStream();
ds.ReadXml(resStream);

But I have no idea how to do it in javascript or jquery. At least I have not been succesfull.

Why doing it on the client side, if you already use ASP.NET? (And Javascript and jQuery are not alternatives :-)

Solution 1

Making HTTP requests in Javascript is a very fundamental thing. This is what Ajax is based on:

Using it with jQuery is done much more convenient. Please see: https://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax[^].
