Get Object not working

When using the get object to retrieve a text file located on the internet it does not retrieve the text file.

Could not figure out how to upload a Capx file to this post so yo can find one here: http://www.bluefiregames.com/temp/getExample.capx.

The Capx will simply try to download a .txt file and change the text string (which is "starting text") to the contents of the text file.

You can find the text file here: http://www.bluefiregames.com/temp/message.txt

You can also find a copy of the crossdomain.xml file here: http://www.bluefiregames.com/crossdomain.xml

To reproduce bug:

Step 1: Open the Capx file and press the Run Layout button at the top.

Step 2: Watch what happens.

What happens? The text is not changed.

Expected Result: The text should be changed.

Affected Browsers

Chrome: (YES)

FireFox: (YES)

Internet Explorer: (YES)

Operating System and Service Pack: Windows 10 unknown service pack.

Construct 2 Version ID: release 236

The crossdomain.xml file only works with Flash applications...

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing

The requesting web page the game is located on and the target file are on the same domain but in different folders. Should this not be a same domain request instead of a cross domain request.

Where can I find an example showing me how to set up cors for the website?

How do I change the header in the ajax object?

Closing as not a bug. crossdomain.xml has nothing to do with the CORS standard. The request should succeed if hosted on the same origin, but won't work in preview mode unless you specify the Access-Control-Allow-Origin HTTP header.

For those interested I finally solved this problem by modifying the .htaccess file on the server by adding the following:

<code>

<IfModule mod_headers.c>

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers "*"

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Headers X-Requested-With

Header set Access-Control-Allow-Credentials true

Header set Access-Control-Max-Age 86400

</IfModule>

</code>

The above code allowed me to use C2 to access the files contained on the server.
