Ajax, connect to localhost?

I'm testing my server on Xampp, rather than directly to a web address, mainly because it's easier and a bit less fiddly to do it on my own PC. But can I get Construct to connect to the localhost? Just copying the url from the browser into C3 doesn't work, it doesn't seem to be connecting.

I can obviously just upload the tested scripts and then have C3 connect there but if I can do it all 'offline', that's a bit easier during testing.

Assuming your server really is up and running, connecting to it from Construct will count as a cross-domain request, which needs some extra configuration. It's covered in the AJAX manual entry under Making AJAX requests cross-domain or in preview.

Thanks Ashley. I do have that when I'm connecting to my uploaded files on my server. But it doesn't seem to work the same with a localhost (i.e everything just running on my local PC). I'll try fiddling about, see if I can get it to connect.

My bad, it was precisely that. I had - header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *"); at the top of the file on my server but not on my localhost. Just adding that at the top fixes it. Thanks.
