Putting xml data file for Fusion map on a different server

[kmorse]

I have a fusion map which, of course, references an xml data file. I keep the xml date file and the html file in the same folder on the same server. However, if I want to place the xml data file on a different server (this file will be rewritten about once a minute and having it on a different server would accelerate the update process), is this possible? I tried it but got an "error reading data" message.

 

 

 

Here is the line I placed in the HTML file where I wanted to reference the fusionmap xml file:

 

 

 

map.setDataURL("http://denverelections.com/race/2008/president/colorado/fusionmaps.xml");

 

 

 

Is there anything about the way I have written that URL that might have caused the error? If not, I will either just write the to the file in the same folder as the html file where everything works fine and use this call to the map file:

 

 

 

map.setDataURL("colo2008.xml");

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

I am afraid, we've blocked absolute URLs owing to XSS attacks. And, there is no way to set it off. Our Maps does not accept dataURL="http://denverelections.com/race/2008/president/colorado/fusionmaps.xml".

 

Could you please try using relative path or absolute path without domain?

 

Could you please try using relative URL instead of using absolute URL (one that has http://.. ).

Newer version of Maps does not allow absolute URL to stop XSS Attacks.
