Hi,we would like to create a simple Javascript application that uses the Alfresco Cloud API.Testing the API with a REST client works fine.When we use a call like this using jQuery$.ajax({ type:"GET", url: "https://api.alfresco.com/company.com/public/cmis/versions/1.1/atom/children?id=f3a0dee7-41d3

You appear to be attempting to use CMIS 1.1 to work with Alfresco in the cloud. Unfortunately, CMIS 1.1 is not yet supported in Alfresco in the cloud.

Can you please change the URL from versions/1.1 to versions/1.0 and try again?

Thanks for the hint Jeff. Changing to version 1.0 makes no difference - same error.

Should this work by design?
I thought that it's sufficient that the server allows cross-domain request and Alfresco Cloud is setup that way.

I can confirm that this call works in a browser-based HTTP client as well as on the command line with curl but it does not work with JQuery. Unfortunately, I do not think it is possible to specify the authorization header while also making a cross-domain request.
