#25674 — XHR and 12031

From	Andrew Poulos <ap_prog@hotmail.com>
Date	2014-08-11 11:46 +1000
Subject	XHR and 12031
Message-ID	<wICdnXK4x8qwvHXOnZ2dnUVZ_u6dnZ2d@westnet.com.au>

If I make an XHR call to
   [server]/projects/test
IIS returns "HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed" even though I've edited 
the handler mappings to allow "all" verbs to file or folder.

All the files are on the same server.

If set IIS to do a URL rewrite to temporarily add a trail slash so that
   [server]/projects/test
becomes
   [server]/projects/test/
then every browser I test will allow the XHR call to complete (return a 
status of 200). Except for IE.

When I check the developer panel in IE 9 the network pane shows the 
request as pending until it finally returns 12031.

When I check the developer panel in IE 10 the debug pane shows "access 
is denied" when it tries to XHR open
   xhr.open(cfg.method, url, async);

If I put the full URL in
   xhr.open(cfg.method, "[server]/projects/test/default.asp", async);
then IE allows the XHR call to complete (return a status of 200).

How do I get IE to behave without needing a full URL?

I cleared the cache, cookies... and now IE 10 misbehaves the same as IE 9.

This implies that you are not making either a GET or a POST request.

Irrelevant.  The *URI* scheme, host name, and server-side port number of the 
resource to be accessed matter.

Server-side URL rewrite is AFAIK not visible to the client.  If the URI 
basically works, the former cannot be the reason for XHR failure.  However, 
that you are using a different URI then may be, because of client-side 
caching.

I do not think, especially now that you have discovered that the behavior is 
not limited to IE 10, that it matters whether you provide a URI or a URI-
reference (there is no “full URL”, see RFC 3986).

You need to provide the *full* context.  A public testcase would be best, 
but a more detailed description and screenshots might suffice.

Here's an XML output from the developer panel with all entries except 
the last two deleted:
