WTF NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI WTF
Firefox says: “Access to restricted URI denied (NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI)”
ARGH. I’m simply trying to read the XML data returned from a backend script that is running on a different port of the same hostname/domain as the page that posted the form in the first place! Only the port number is different. Firefox says no, that’s not allowed. You gotta be kidding me. Seriously, the browser just happily posted my data to that server+port combo but now it isn’t allowed to read the results of that post?!?
I know this is all under the banner of security but could someone explain to me why the browser is allowed to send any of the user’s form/useragent data to any old server (without warnings) while reading the result of that request is forbidden? I must be missing something, as this makes no sense to me.
I’m frustrated.
