Detect when AJAX request is accessing a different IE security zone from origin












0















Is there any way to determine programmatically, in the browser via JS, whether an AJAX request to a cross-origin domain is dropping cookies in IE because of Protected Mode state isolation between security zones?



It would be nice to show the user a warning in this case rather than a silent failure.



CORS is otherwise allowed via Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, and cookies are enabled via withCredentials, so I'm focused on the state-sharing problem unique to IE. Chrome is working fine.

  • An ajax request to another origin won't allow cookies to be sent or set unless withCredentials is set in the request

  • clarified that is not the issue; also, Chrome does not have the same issue
