I am trying to import json data from web worker using importScripts, the following error occurs.

Uncaught NetworkError: Failed to execute 'importScripts' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': The script at (my:URL to fetch data from server) failed to load.

Web worker code is here. I am able to send basic messages from my web worker thread and main js thread. I want to fetch jsonp data from my server from web worker thread and then reply to main js thread.

/*web worker js file to fetch json data from server and then return to main javascript thread*/



self.onmessage = function(e)

{

    var curr = setInterval(function()

    {

    

         var message = e.data;     

            fetchMyTournament(message);

    

    }, 10000);

}







function fetchMyTournament(userid)

{

    self.postMessage('worker saying hi');

       

    

    var url = "(server URL mapping)?callback=processInfo&type=(typeOfArgument)&userId="+userid;

    

               

               

               importScripts(url);

            self.postMessage("After import script");



            

       

}

function processInfo(objJSON) 

{

 

    self.postMessage("Data returned from the server...: " 

                  + JSON.stringify(objJSON));

}
