Hi Another way to sort out this problem is to create a simple proxy script in the same domain as the AJAX and use that.
In php it's more-or-less echo file_get_contents(); I've done this a few times and it works a treat.

I've achieved this in a java app but want to do it using HTML/AJAX. Unfortunately this seems impossible at the moment as cross domain AJAX is needed and this is currently disabled for all the programme RDF files. This means that my AJAX calls to those files simply return an error. If I make a similar call to a series player.xml file then it returns ok. The reason for this is that an extra HTTP header is needed: Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * This header is present on the file programmes/b006vq92/episodes/player.xml for example but not the corresponding rdf file programmes/b006vq92.rdf Is it possible to get this header added to the RDF files as well? This would allow cross site ajax for these files as well as for the player.xml files. Thanks. Ross Thomas P.S.
