google maps api suddenly stopped working

There is wierd situation ... everything was working and suddenly googlemaps api stopped working

$('input#find_location_button').on('click', function () {

.... some script to get value of input field and store it in data_to_send.... 
data_to_send['sensor'] = 'false';

   //   alert(JSON.stringify(data_to_send));  this alert shows everything is fine

        $.ajax({
            url: 'http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json',
            dataType: 'json',
            data: data_to_send,
            type: 'GET',
            success: function (data)
            { alert(data); // nothing ... 
.... proper closing tags ... 

I have no idea why this ajax request suddenly stopped working ... in firbug console it shows nothing ... no request posted ... any ideas?

Perhaps this issue missing CORS HTTP Header explains why it stopped working.

Google Geocoding Web Service is not including Access-Control-Allow-Origin:* in HTTP header responses, so service cannot be cross-domain accesed from javascript. Until last week Friday, that header was included.

Start that issue if that is the problem.
