Bug 136081 – Safari fails on request to a non-authenticated API

• Status: NEW
• Component: New Bugs

When attempting to make a $http.get(AngularJS) request or any Ajax get request in Safari the following error log occurs. This same get request works in all other major browsers. Feel free to see the full code here: https://github.com/coryshaw1/ng-soundcloud-playlist

//SoudcloudService
vm.embed = function( trackUrl ) {
    vm.trackUrl = trackUrl;
    vm.url = 'http://api.soundcloud.com/oembed?format=json&url=' + vm.trackUrl + '&auto_play=true&maxheight=200';

    return $http.get(vm.url); //Example url: http://api.soundcloud.com/oembed?format=json&url=http://soundcloud.com/flume/seekae-test-recognise-flume-re-work&auto_play=true&maxheight=200
};
...

//Calling in controller
SoundcloudService.embed( vm.list[index].permalink_url )
    .success(function(data, status) {
        vm.loading = false;
            vm.embedHtml = $sce.trustAsHtml(data.html); //Is HTML5 iframe so handle javascript
    }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        vm.loading = false;
        var configText = function(){
                var output = '';
                for (var property in config) {
                  output += property + ': ' + config[property].toString()+'\n ';
                }
                return output;
              }
              var headersText = function(){
                var output = '';
                for (var property in headers) {
                  output += property + ': ' + headers[property].toString()+'\n ';
                }
                return output;
              }
              console.log('Status:', status,
                            '\nData:', data, 
                            '\nHeaders:', headersText(), 
                            '\nConfig:', configText());
    });

I made a live build you can test with here: http://coryshaw.us/ngSouncloudPlaylist/

Search for any track title, then you should get the error when clicking "Play" next to any song.

I'm experiencing the same issue with the following code snippet:

$http({
                method: 'post',
                url: $scope.service !== 'Photography' ? 'https://script.google.com/macros/s/identifyinginformationhere/exec' : 'https://script.google.com/macros/s/differentinformationhere/exec',
                params: dict
            })
            .success(successf)
            .error(errorf);


which generates the following three debugging output:

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 405 (Method Not Allowed)
[Error] Failed to load resource: Cannot make any requests from null.
XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://script.googleusercontent.com/macros/echo?user_content_key=moredifferentinformationhere. Cannot make any requests from null.

It seems to be a CORS issue. This code works in all other browsers, just like Cory's. The request actually makes it through, because I can see modifications on the Google spreadsheet the request POSTs to, but unlike the other browsers I get a 405 and error runs. On chrome I get a 302 and successf runs.
