Hi there,
I am about to write a web service client with JQuery and I ran into a
pretty weird problem.
For some web service calls I need to authenticate a user. Part of the
authentication is to create a MD5 checksum of all request parameters
plus values plus a secret. The server than validates the MD5
checksum, creating one on its on with the submitted parameter and
values.This is where my problem comes in. When using JSONP I will have
a different callback parameter (callback=?) then the server
(callbck=jsonp+timestamp).
I found this code in the jquery-1.2.6.js:
Line 2512: var jsc = now();
[...]
Line 2604 // Build temporary JSONP function
Line 2605 if ( s.dataType == "json" && (s.data &&
s.data.match(jsre)
|| s.url.match(jsre)) ) {
Line 2606 jsonp = "jsonp" + jsc++;
I was able to fix my problem to delete Line 2512 and setting the jsc
variable in my part of the script. Then I have control over it and now
what functionName jquery will use to overwrite the ? of the callback
parameter.
But, of course, I don't want to hack the jquery library. Is there
another more elegant way to overwrite the jsc variable? I am sure
there is one, but all my searches didn't bring up anything useful.
Therefore I am happy about any kind of input.
Thanks,
Johannes
