How to accept JSONP with text/plain MIME type?

[treelovinhippie]

Hi

I'm trying to load basic JSON from an external source that I don't have control of, using the proxy:

                proxy: {                    type: 'jsonp',
                    url: 'http://thejsonurl....',
                    
                    reader: {
                        type:'json',
                        rootProperty:''
                    }


                }

However, I get this error:

Resource interpreted as Script but transferred with MIME type text/plain:

Is there a way around this?

Cheers

Your response needs to return the Content-Type header as application/javascript. For PHP you can do it like:

header('Content-Type: application/javascript');

Problem is, I don't control or have access to the data source. I can't change the generated JSON output

Oh well, my workaround was to have a separate php file that basically grabbed the external json and echo'd it out with the proper headers, and then change the proxy type to ajax.

This actually makes sense anyway for me if the external data source changes

header('Content-type: application/json');

$html = file_get_contents('http://external_json_file');


echo $html;
