CORS post index file with XML call

I have some Ajax that makes a Cross Origin Resource call

 $("#inductive1").click(function (event) {
    $.post(
       "https://www.mysite.co.uk/folder/tests/Inductive/Test1/index.phtml",
        function (data) {
            $('.stage2').html(data);
        }
    );
});

within the index.phtml file I have some Script that calls exam.xml

Script inside index.phtml

( function($, undefined) {

            $(function() {

                var test = new Test({

                    testName: "Inductive Test 1",
                    dataURL : "/getresultshtml.php",
                    sendEmailURL: "/sendresultsbyemail.php",
                    contentFolder : "./",
                    solutionURL: "../../../content/f/id/10/",
                    userID: 0,
                    courseItemID: 25,
                    XMLFile: "exam.xml",
                    isStandalone: false
                });

                test.start();

            });
        }(jQuery));

However the xml file is trying to be called from the other server,

EG 

https://server1.com/exam.xml

it should be 

https://myserver.com/exam.xml

I have tried changing the JS to direct path as in 

 XMLFile: "htttps:/myserver.com/exam.xml"

but it is being read as 

https://server1.com/myserver.com/exam.xml

how do I change the javascript so that it changes the root URL to myserver.com and not server1.com

I'm not sure how the Test will use the XMLFile. But per the jquery.ajax documentation, passing the complete url (with the protocol) in the url parameter should be enough.

Maybe the test.start() is doing some manipulation?

The only other possible issue that I found is that you are declaring your protocol with an extra t and a missing /

XMLFile: "htttps:/myserver.com/exam.xml"

Try using

XMLFile: "https://myserver.com/exam.xml"

Looks like some plugin you are using is changing document's base URL, you can try putting this at the beginning of index.phtml

<base href="https://myserver.com">

If that doesn't work you might need to dynamically change the base property through JavaScript just before the ajax call

document.write("<base href='http://myserver.com/'>");
