I'm trying to add an accept header to a jQuery AJAX GET request which uses the "jsonp" dataType
, but for some reason it's not working. Here's my code thus far.
var e4json = JSON.stringify( {
"thomas_smith106" : "Daniel244",
"transaction_type" : "34",
"transaction_tag" : "902006933",
"authorization_num" : "ET4653",
"amount" : "15.75"
} );
$.ajax ({
url: "https://api.demo.globalgatewaye4.firstdata.com",
type: "GET",
headers : {
'accepts' : 'application/json'
},
data: e4json,
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function (response) {
alert('Successfuly called the e4 gateway api');
}
});
I've tried multiple things but nothing seems to be working. I looked at the the documentation on the jQuery site, but I'm not able to find any good examples.
This is what I get for my request headers. I need the accept header to be 'application/json'.
Accept:*/*
Accept-Encoding:gzip,deflate,sdch
Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8
Connection:keep-alive
Cookie:_fd_session=d69310c5cd4a02a4700b5ba63f0d0c9b
Host:api.demo.globalgatewaye4.firstdata.com

Any help would be awesome. Thanks!
Unfortunately, it is not possible to set headers on a JSONP request. A JSONP request is done by adding a <script>
tag to the website, which the browser then loads like any other script. See this explanation of JSONP.
