I'm creating a small app to create an animated overlay. It's supposed to pull text from local txt/xml files and update the html accordingly. According to various other answers that I've researched, the solution was to create a local server, which I did using pythons SimpleHTTPServer. However I'm still having the same issue.

For instance, I originally had

$.get("info/player1.txt", function(data) {
        p1new = data;
    });

which I replaced with

$.get("http://localhost:8000/info/player1.txt", function(data) {
    p1new = data;
});

but this produces the access error. Completely stumped. This is purely html/css/jquery on a local web server.

This happens if you are on https and you try to go to http with ajax. Can you make sure you are not doing this? – tilz0R Mar 27 '16 at 21:00
I don't believe so. How would I check? – r2dliu Mar 27 '16 at 21:11
Just check connection type you are connected to when you try to request data via ajax. Are you on HTTP or HTTPS. – tilz0R Mar 27 '16 at 21:17
HTTP/1.1 Definitely not HTTPS – r2dliu Mar 27 '16 at 21:19
