Hello,

I use an api from http://api.idlight.net/lookup via AJAX, but in the simulator I get the javascript alert that I don't have access to that URL, although in the config.xml I've tried all variants of the access tag:

<access uri="http://api.idlight.net/lookup" subdomains="true" />

or

<access uri="http://api.idlight.net/" subdomains="true" />

or

<access uri="http://idlight.net" subdomains="true" />

But I still get that error, any ideas why?

What is the exact alert? Is that webpage trying to load other resources as a cross domain request?

You are correct in your whitelisting logic as far as I can see.

It says:

Access to "http://api.idlight.net/lookup?q=test@test.com&key=kjgkdj4565kjbjh" not allowed.

I am trying to get some information from that api via a GET

[erikjohnzon]

Scary, can you send me your config file by email? You are just doing a get from the webpage to that URL?

[tomitzel]

Email sent, thanks.

[erikjohnzon]

The problem is the query contains the "@" symbol which is not a valid URI character. It should be % encoded. It should work otherwise .

[tomitzel]

Great, thanks!

[tomitzel]

Unfortunately, it does work even after I've encoded the charachter @

I get:

Access to "http://api.idlight.net/lookup?q=test%40test.com&key=kjgkdj4565kjbjh" not allowed.
