Hi Renato.. The app I'm considering can't use a proxy server on the 'current' domain. The issue I'm trying to solve is similar to the 'passport' app from microsoft awhile ago.
I'm considering how to allow a central app/process act as a login/validation server, allowing other sites to verify that a user is who/what he claims to be. For this to work, I'm envisioning that there has to be a way for a a client site, to be able to interface/communicate with a central server/service... Thoughts/comments on how to accomodate this. I was also under the impression that widgets on a given site, are able to communicate back to central servers that aren't part of the app being viewed by the user.... I've seen widgets that allow you to see who's on the site you're on, where the widget is getting updated information from a central server that's not part of the site that the user is watching... -bruce -----Original Message----- From: Renato Formato [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 11:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; jQuery Discussion.

It's not possible because of security reasons as far as I know. Ajax can be done only between the client and the domain from which the page is loaded. A workaround is to make a request to the current domain server that, in turn, acts like a "proxy" with the external server, getting the content and serving it back to the client.
