How to configure allow-access-control-origin in PRTG API response headers?

Votes:

0

Hi, I'm trying to query the PRTG API for historic data to put on an internal dashboard style website. However, whenever I try to access the historic data via xml, my Chrome tells me:

Origin http://mywebsite is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

As it would, because the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header is not being received from the PRTG api.

How can I configure the PRTG api to return a Access-Control-Allow-Origin which includes my website address?

Thanks,

Sam

Please see this article for how to set the value for the Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP response header with a registry key option. You can use this feature as of PRTG version 15.x.20.

Hello,

I'm very sorry, but currently it's not possible to set this header for API Calls.

best regards.

Is there any way to workaround this? E.g. wrap the XML in json so I can execute a JSONP request and then parse the XML within?

Thanks,

You can do this: $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: url, dataType:'jsonp', cache: false, crossDomain: 'true', success: function(result){ do something } });

but then you get problems with the server header returning the wrong mime-type (text/html), witch i haven't been able to bypass. Should the mime-type returned be application/json ?
