JSONP support about haste-server HOT 4 CLOSED

Have this implemented off in the jsonp branch - let me know if this fits the bill
Thanks for the feature request

from haste-server.

That's exciting news - thanks very much!

I'm having trouble getting this feature to work with my JavaScript "client." When I try to submit data via JSONP, I get back the HTML for Hastebin rather than JSON containing a key.

As a test, I tried a submitting form to my local instance of Hastebin normally, with no JavaScript. When I used POST to send the data, I received a key as expected. When I used GET to send the data, my browser navigated to http://0.0.0.0:7777/documents/?data=jhklhkljh, which gave me the HTML for Hastebin.

So, it sounds like I'd need to use POST instead of GET. The problem is that JSONP works only with GET, not POST. Additionally, GET is probably not well-suited for submitting large blocks of code.

Any thoughts on what might be going on here? Am I misunderstanding how to interact with haste-server? Should I be using CORS instead of JSONP? If it helps, you can see my extremely basic "client" code at https://github.com/rdebeasi/post-haste.

Thanks again for your help, and my apologies if the JSONP suggestion turns out to be a bad idea.

Ahh I think I may have misunderstood the original goal.
The branch will allow retrieval of haste data for a given key via JSONP

I'm a bit wary to take in data for hastes over GET.

Maybe it's an idea to offer a library you can use on your site - which is hosted on the hastebin domain to create documents (similar to the approach taken with stripe.js) which would allow for CORS

Do you have some more details on your use case? There's always the ability have a smaller server that created the pastes but that may be too heavyweight
