so I can't use

http_request.open("GET","XX");

has anybody a hint for me?

Answer 1

Alternatively you could use JSONP for your GET request:

Answer 2

Get it in backend with f.e. an XPage and HttpURLConnection class. This XPage can serve the JSON data to the client so you can use XMLHttpRequest.

Answer 3

you can use XMLHttpRequest object for Https protocol.
