I am trying to consume the webservice of Moodle, following a js/Rest example I found on github, I created a test.php with the code below (changing the domainname and token) but when I call the page I get nothing in the variable Answer, by Chrome I get a Failed to load Resource: net::ERR_TIMED_OUT inside the server.php.
My idea is to consume another function of the webservice, but not even the simple example I’m getting, Moodle is already with the functions of webservice/Rest enabled and everything else.
Something I’d like to add is that I can use the service by the url (below is an example of another function of the webservice):
/moodle/webservice/rest/server.php?wstoken=meutoken&wsfunction=core_user_get_users&moodlewsrestformat=json&criteria[0][key]=departament&criteria[0][value]=1
So he returns me a json, but I needed to use $.ajax to manipulate this data, in case show the name of some user using an email or other parameter.

var domainname = 'http://yourmoodle';
var token = 'acabec9d208978d986986g987657ffg9';
var functionname = 'core_user_create_users';
var serverurl = domainname + '/webservice/rest/server.php' ;
//add params into data
var userstocreate = [{ username: 'testusername1',

var data = {

}
var response = $.ajax(

console.info(response);

Check your Javascript console for the "responseText" value.

Post the code that is on
server.php. If it’s too big, just put it back– Lucas
I don’t know if it helps much, but if I call the functions directly in the url, passing the parameters I can use the webservice, but in the ajax request no.

Will you even put TOKEN and Avascript? Anyone can see and will have access to your Token.

Yes, in the real case I would use a token to enable another function, for example something to visualize someone’s name, no problem the person know the token, this code of "create users" I put by the same structure.
