Sending credentials with cross-domain posts?

javascript jquery cross-domain

According to Requests with credentials, Firefox will only send credentials along with cross-domain posts if

invocation.withCredentials = "true";

is set… But it doesn't seem like jQuery's Ajax API provides any mechanism for this.

Is there something I've missed? Is there some other way I can do it?

Answer

Functionality is supposed to be broken in jQuery 1.5.

Since jQuery 1.5.1 you should use xhrFields param.

$.ajaxSetup({
    type: "POST",
    data: {},
    dataType: 'json',
    xhrFields: {
       withCredentials: true
    },
    crossDomain: true
});
