If the other server sends CORS headers in the response, then you can just use XMLHttpRequest or RequestBuilder: http://caniuse.com/#feat=cors Otherwise, you'll have to make the request from your server (acting as a proxy) to workaround the same-origin policy. JSON-P, despite what its name suggests, is simply about retrieving a JavaScript and having it executed in the current web page using a <script> tag; so it (obviously) won't work for XML. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GWT Users" group.
