Perl CGI script showing invalid dummy HTML data in javascript

Hi,

I've written a perl cgi script to fetch the data from DB and then convert it into JSON format.

And also I've prepared a Javascript for the same which contains AJAX call that will get the JSON fetched by CGI. The issue which I am facing is that when I try to print the json data fetched by the perl script some dummy HTML is getting printed i.e invalid json.

I've configured IIS also for the same and when I hit the path of the script from Browser I am actually getting the correct data. For Verification I've copied the json which is on the browser and verified it on JSONLint.com it is showing VALID JSON.

I need help , Can Someone please guide me whether I am on the right track or not ?

Have I missed Something ?

Thanks in Advance!

T.S. : 7.4.1

Perl : perl 5 version 18 (strawberry)

most likely your AJAX call failed. I suspect your HTML is a 404 or some other error page

Did you put the exact call in a browser? How about a curl command from the server where the perl script runs

Hi Nipper,

The invalid HTML code actually contains a 404 error which I get in my console.

Well, the call in the browser is exactly the same.

I was going through CURL what I found is that there are 2 types of installables available for CURL

viz . CURL IDE and CURL RTE.

I've downloaded Runtime Environment (Ver. 8 Runtime Engine Curl RTE) from http://www.curl.com/download/ but I am confused How to install it, How to run it on my server and How to verify my scripts too.

Also, have I downloaded the correct version or not ?

Please Help and guide me!

Thanks in Advance!
