Ajax call to connectors - modAuth - Anything Changed?

I had the following JS code which was working before, to call the component connector.

receiveReq.open("GET", '/assets/components/mytools/connector.php?action=getcontent&c='+ca+'&pid='+pid, true);
receiveReq.onreadystatechange = handlegetContent;
receiveReq.send(null);

But after the update, I got the following error.

{"success":false,"message":"Access denied.","total":0,"data":[],"object":[]}

Is the following statement from ". It can either be passed in the HTTP headers as 'modAuth', or in a REQUEST var as HTTP_MODAUTH" from http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Developing+an+Extra+in+MODX+Revolution%2C+Part+II still valid with modx 2.2.

I added the modAuth to headers as follow, but that didn't help

receiveReq.open("GET", '/assets/components/mytools/connector.php?action=getcontent&c='+ca+'&pid='+pid, true);
receiveReq.setRequestHeader('modAuth', 'modx111111122222);
receiveReq.onreadystatechange = handlegetContent;
receiveReq.send(null);

Anyone have any idea what could be wrong.

Thank you

I don't believe any changes were made. What happens if you pass the request var with the key HTTP_MODAUTH?

I had the following code in connector.php

$basePath =   dirname( dirname( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) )) ;

require_once $basePath . '/config.core.php';
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH . 'config/' . MODX_CONFIG_KEY . '.inc.php';
require_once MODX_CONNECTORS_PATH . 'index.php';
$_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $modx->site_id;

//echo $modx->getOption( 'core_path' ) . 'components/mytools/processors/';
$path = $modx->getOption( 'core_path' ) . 'components/mytools/processors/';

$modx->request->handleRequest(array(
    'processors_path' => $path,
    'location' => '',
));

It was working fine before but now got the error message.

I don't know if it is related in any way but I have seen the following bug as resolved; http://tracker.modx.com/issues/5044.

Thank you

I changed the connector.php as follow, and I don't know why but now it works.

$basePath =   dirname( dirname( dirname( dirname( __FILE__ ) ) )) ;

require_once $basePath . '/config.core.php';
require_once MODX_CORE_PATH . 'config/' . MODX_CONFIG_KEY . '.inc.php';
require_once MODX_CONNECTORS_PATH . 'index.php';
//$_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $modx->site_id;

if ($_REQUEST['action'] == 'getcontent') {
    $version = $modx->getVersionData();
    if (version_compare($version['full_version'],'2.1.1-pl') >= 0) {
        if ($modx->user->hasSessionContext($modx->context->get('key'))) {
            $_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $_SESSION["modx.{$modx->context->get('key')}.user.token"];
        } else {
            $_SESSION["modx.{$modx->context->get('key')}.user.token"] = 0;
            $_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = 0;
        }
    } else {
        $_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $modx->site_id;
    }
    $_REQUEST['HTTP_MODAUTH'] = $_SERVER['HTTP_MODAUTH'];
}

/* handle request */
$path = $modx->getOption( 'core_path' ) . 'components/mytools/processors/';
  $modx->request->handleRequest(array(
    'processors_path' => $path,
    'location' => '',
));
