Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open

Calling the geonames webservice from javascript gives the Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method XMLHttpRequest.open Most browsers enforce a cross-domain security restriction. This means your javascript code can only access the server from which the javascript has been loaded. As geonames.org is a different server you cannot directly call the geonames webservice using XMLHttpRequest. Workarounds : * use one of our JSON webservices. With JSON you don't have this problem : http://www.geonames.org/export/JSON-webservices.html * Use a software proxy on your server forwarding the requests to geonames.org. * use apache modrewrite Links : http://nothing-more.blogspot.com/2005/09/xmlhttprequest-security.html http://spaces.msn.com/members/siteexperts/Blog/cns%211pNcL8JwTfkkjv4gg6LkVCpw%212776.entry

Thanks for your nice system - its great. I'm using your service with javascript with the url: request = 'http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPostalCodesJSON?lat=' + point.y + '&lng=' + point.x + '&callback=getLocation'; and its working very good. I found the query http://ws.geonames.org/wikipediaSearch and I got the problem to access it with java-script. Is there a JSON query too for the wikipedia search like http://ws.geonames.org/wikipediaSearchJSON?q=cologne&maxRows=10&lang=de It would be a nice help. Erik erik (-at-) koelschwasser (point) de

Im having a huge problem with this Im getting a 403 permission denied error but im not using javascript Am using PHP fopen Code:

function get_longlat($postcode,$placename) 
{
        $ret = "";
        $url = "http://ws.geonames.org/postalCodeSearch?postalcode=" . $postcode . "&placename=". $placename ."&maxRows=1";
		$url = str_replace(" ","%20",$url);
		
        $handle = fopen($url,"rb");
        $contents = "";
        while (!feof($handle)) { $contents .= fread($handle, 8192); }
        fclose ($handle);
        
		preg_match('/([^\<]*)/', $contents, $matches);
        $lat = $matches[1];
        $ret = $ret . $lat . ",";
        preg_match('/([^\<]*)/', $contents, $matches);
        $lng = $matches[1];
        $ret = $ret . $lng;
        return $ret;
}

Its only happening on one of my hosting accounts - on the other the code runs fine Is there some security setting that has to be turned on on the linux server to allow it to make external http requests?

We are using the FindNearestAddress service via javascript and are getting the permission denied error. Is this service available as JSON? I didn't see it in the list..... http://ws.geonames.org/findNearestAddress

Hey im a bit confused. I to get the XMLHttp error but I tried doing it by jSON type. I'm using the DOJO framework what exactly do I need to do to run it as a json and use the work around? My current code is this Code:

   	function GetCountryData(coory,coorx)
	{
		sendUrl = 'http://ws.geonames.org/countrycode?lat=' + coory + 'lng=' + coorx + '&type=JSON';
	dojo.io.bind({
			url: sendUrl,
			load: function(type, data, evt){alert(data)},
			error: function(type, data, evt){},
			mimetype: "text/plain" 
		});
	}

I don't know the DOJO framework, but it seems it is not making a JSON call. Did you try using another mime type? In this example they are using text/json : http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2006/04/27/building-ajax-with-dojo-and-json.html Marc

i am working on google map to integrate weather onto the map.I am getting permission denied error when using json for weather. this is my code GDownloadUrl("http://ws.geonames.org/findNearByWeatherJSON?lat="+point.y+"&lng="+point.x+"", function(data2){ var jsonData = eval('(' + data2 + ')'); weatherHTML = "

Temp :	"+jsonData.weatherObservation.temperature+"
clouds :	"+jsonData.weatherObservation.clouds+"

" }); Hope someone will help me to make this work.

GDownloadURL is using XmlHttpRequest behind the scenes and subject to the same restrictions. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/reference.html#GDownloadUrl You will have to use a JSON call to read data from the GeoNames server directly with the browser. Marc
