doing cross-domain syncronous ajax request within a jsonp ajax request - syncronous flag is not respected for the internal requests

Description

Hi Guys,

we came across a jQuery problem when doing the following

  • do an ajax request from mydomain.com
  • get a jsonp-Response like
$.ajax({
url: "anotherdomain.com/someother/MyObject.js",
dataType: "script",
cache: true,
async: false
});

var myObject = new MyObject();

Here get an error because the MyObject.js is not loaded although the ajax request is marked as with async:false.

We tried to debug the problem and we also read the manual which says, that jsonp-Requests always will be called with async:true.

but in this case only the first request is a jsonp-Request. so we guess jQuery should respect the configuration of non-jsonp-Requests by e.g. resetting the transportation to non-jsonp.

We found this behavior in jQuery-Version 1.8.3 up to 1.10.1

The docs for async say: " Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous operation."

Hi Guys,

sorry for the embarrasment regarding my bug report. it seems as i has not pointed out the problem well. as i mentioned, we read the manual and there is no doubt that

Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous operation."

Thats not our problem. the problem is, that we fetch javascript code by a jsonp request. this javascript code executes an independent ajax request. this ajax-request should be executed synchronously - but instead, because its code has been loaded by an asychnronous "jsonp"-request, it is also exectuted asynchronously.

In your example, you're using a cross-domain "script" request which by its very nature cannot be synchronous since it must use script tag injection.
