Unable to read a XML file hosted on an external Web server

[Webaluc]

Hi all!

I need to read a XML file hosted on an external Web server, but I can't find the solution.

I made some tests here:
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/tryit.asp?filename=try_dom_xmlhttprequest_responsexml

First test: Replacing the "cd_catalog.xml" file name by the file full path:
https://www.w3schools.com/xml/cd_catalog.xml

Since the file is on the same server, everything is working fine.

Then, I tried the same file on another server and it doesn't work anymore:
https://www.webaluc.com/test/cd_catalog.xml

Any solution to this problem?

Thank you!

For security reasons, Javascript is not able to read files on a different domain than the one that the page is on unless the owner of the domain sends an HTTP header allowing it.

Thank you Ingolme for your answer!

I just asked the same question on the PHP forum:
