On more research, I think I understand better what you are suggesting. I don't have access to my server ritnow, but I am guessing I would have to do something like follows


>> get '/poly.:format' => sub {
>> my $poly = params->{'BBOX'};

get '/poly.:format' => sub {
    my $poly = params->{'BBOX'};
 + my $callback = params->{'callback'};
    my $res = recs_within_poly($poly);
 + $res = $callback . '(' . $res . ')';
    return $res;
}


Does the above make sense?

From my side (the client side), I am specifying that it is a JSONP request, and I am even specifying the callback param. From what I understand, as you state above, the server is supposed to send back the JSON stream wrapped in the function callback. Let me read that again -- the server is supposed to do the above. Dancer is the responding server, and it is not doing so, as you confirm above. So, how do I read the callback param myself?

The web inspector complains that "Resource interpreted as script but transferred with MIME type application/json." I am wondering if there is something in the second dancer app (the one that returns the result) which is setting a wrong header that is causing the callback to not be tripped. The code in the second dancer app looks like so
