Lesson
Plan Title: Same Origin Policy Protection.
Concept /
Topic To Teach:
A key element of AJAX is the XMLHttpRequest (XHR), which allows javascript to make asynchronous calls from the client side to a server. However, as a security measure these requests may only be made to the server from which the client page originated.
General
Goal(s):
This exercise demonstrates the Same Origin Policy Protection. XHR requests can only be passed back to the originating server. Attempts to pass data to a non-originating server will fail.
