REST server should also return JSONP objects

        Details

          Description

          We should add some JSONP support to the REST server. It would be useful to do cross-platform call in javascript.

                I think this is a required feature for developing HTML5 webservice clients

                For the readers: Please note that this is not required if you package your app with Phonegap or other frameworks.

                See: http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/16494770/FAQ (AJAX question)..

                Q. I want to create an application for phonegap to access externally deployed web services via AJAX. How can i resolve the issue with the
                cross-domain security policy of XmlHttpRequest?
                A. The cross-domain security policy does not affect PhoneGap applications. Since the html files are called by webkit with the file:// protocol, the security policy does not apply.
                (in Android,you may grant android.permission.INTERNET to your app by edit the AndroidManifest.xml)

                The github submission I attached was created for testing a Moodle HTML5 ws client prototype. It could need a bit of polishing, but it should not be far from final version.

                I have to agree, this would be a useful addition to Moodle's web services.

                Jerome - github submissions looks good but shouldn't the Content-Type be "application/javascript" for the jsonp content type?

                Hi Nathan, I don't know, I didn't ask myself this question as token.php already return json and it worked like that. But it's a good remark.

                I will not be able to work on this issue in the immediate future. In order to create a truer sense of the state of this issue and to allow other developers to have chance to become involved, I am removing myself as the assignee of this issue.
