EDIT: I guess I should have added the Laravel 5.1 piece!
The Ajax call is being handled by a route as follows:
Route::get('ajax/{action}', ['uses' => 'AjaxController@helpers', 'as' => 'ajax.helpers']);
I would expect the encodeURIcompponent()
function to make this work, but Laravel 5.1 returns 404 when I call below. If the uri does not contain the encoded http://
it works.
This is what the url in ajax call looks like that returns 404:
http://my.app/ajax/act=url&u=http%3A%2F%2Fgoogle.com
I have an ajax call that needs to check a url I am passing as a parameter
The user will input a url in a form field, which I capture in a variable called website
My ajax call needs to accept:
'/ajax/act=url&u=' + website;
I am doing this to build the url I then pass to a jQuery $.getJSON
call:
var url = '/ajax/act=url&&u=' + encodeURIComponent(website);
But I get 404 back from the server. If I remove the protocol (http://
) it works just fine.
How do I pass the full url as a parameter in the ajax call? Thanks!
