Hi, I am building a Google Gadget that is given a URL to an XML file. This file contains links to images that will be shown in a slideshow format. After a certain amount of time, I check to see if the XML file has changed. If it has, then I need to parse the XML and download the images again. I think the best way to check if the XML file has been changed, is to check the last modification date. I know that in order to get this information, I need to implement a server-side solution that can be called by my gadget.
The dilemma is this...my gadget code is hosted on Google Code. My gadget is embedded inside of a web application with a domain of mycompany.appspot.com. So even if I build server-side functionality into mycompany.appspot.com to get the last modified date, will my gadget be able to call it or will I run into cross-domain issues? And if I do, then what other solution is there to check if the file has changed? Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
