After developing a Flickr search engine, I encountered an issue where the call to the public feed or FlickrApi varies depending on the selection made in a drop-down box. The JSONP function calls provide examples of the returned data:
a)
jsonFlickrApi({"photos":{"page":1, "pages":201, "perpage":100, "total":"20042", "photo":[{"id":"5101738723"...b)
jsonFlickrFeed({ "title": "Recent Uploads tagged red","link": "http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/red/","description": "", ....What's perplexing is that while both functions work flawlessly on my local installation using XAMPP, the same code hosted on a domain results in the jsonFlickrApi not functioning. Upon inspection with Firebug, it appears that for the jsonFlickrApi, the response header indicates Connection close.
Additionally, when sending a request to the jsonFlickrApi, Firebug does not show a Response tab.
Below is the snippet of code in question:
function makeCall(uri)
{
xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = callback;
xmlhttp.open("GET", "jsonget.php?url="+uri, true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
function jsonFlickrApi(response)
{
var data= response.photos.photo ;
var output = "";
output += "<img src=http://farm" + data[4].farm + ".static.flickr.com/" + data[1].server + "/" + data[4].id + "_" + data[4].secret + ".jpg>";
document.getElementById("cell-0").innerHTML = output ;
}
//Public Feed
function jsonFlickrFeed(response)
{
var data= response.items[0].media.m ;
alert(data);
var output = "";
output += "<img src=" + data+ ">";
document.getElementById("cell-0").innerHTML = output ;
}
function callback()
{
//console.log("Ready State: " + xmlhttp.readyState + "\nStatus" + xmlhttp.status);
if(xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
{
var jsonResponse = xmlhttp.responseText;
jsonResponse = eval(jsonResponse);
}
}
Examples of API calls:
a)
http://flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.photos.search&api_key=75564008a468bf8a284dc94bbd176dd8&tags=red&content_type=1&is_getty=true&text=red&format=json×tamp=1339189838017
b)
http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?tags=red&format=json×tamp=1339190039407
Question: Why does my connection close? What is causing it to work on localhost but not on the actual domain?
