Twisted.Web and AJAX I've encountered a similar thread where the issue of fetching data with AJAX from a Twisted server is discussed. Despite trying the code provided in that thread, I still face the same problem - the Twisted server works perfectly, but I can't seem to fetch data with ajax. In the other thread, it was mentioned that an alert pops up without any data. However, in my case, the alert doesn't even show up. Other ajax functions work fine, indicating that the issue lies specifically with fetching data. It's worth noting that I am able to fetch data using curl -
$ curl --url http://localhost:8082/test -vAny suggestions on how to resolve this issue?
<script type="text/javascript">
// Submit button
$(function(){
$.ajax({type: "POST",
$('a').click(function(){
url: "http://localhost:8082/test",
data: {},
success: function(data) {alert("Success:" + data);}
});
});
});
</script>

A special thank you to Peter Le Bek and Darkporter. Peter Le Bek's answer was very helpful and Darkporter's vote up is greatly appreciated! =)
Answer: Peter's solution worked perfectly once I realized the importance of specifying the static folder path. Just provide any folder, place an index.html file inside, and it will serve as the root directory when accessed via web browser.
