http request

Right, I have not tested this on an actual rpi … I’m at the office, so I’m running a serveronly setup. I can do an rpi test later, although I suspect it will still work, as opposed to resulting in a blank screen. It returns the error as expected when it can’t find the file.

with a browser on the pi, it’s also ok

@KirAsh4 I’ve isolated the issue as a Cross-Domain Access issue. Do you know of any particular way to make XMLHTTPRequests to external domains?

I wasn’t aware this would be an issue but apparently anybody who wants to use this and map to an external domain will have this issue unless they have a running PHP server that can store the XML results locally (or if they can access a server, they can add the line Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * to their HTML headers.

Any ideas?

XMLHTTPRequest. Look at how the 'currentweather' module does it in the 'updateWeather()' function.

Yeah that’s what I based my original request functionality on. The OpenWeather API response is CORS compatible due to the response header - this is why the example response works well. Outside of this domain though (say on http://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml (or any other external server). This unfortunately makes problems - I’m still looking for a work-around.

I’m using that code in php

$xml = simplexml_load_file('XML/status1.xml');
echo "<br>--------------<br>XML parsing <br>--------------<br>";
$result = array();

foreach($xml->children() as $child){
$result[$child->getName()] = trim($child);
