Then call it via a proxy. XHR has the very tight rules for a good reason.

This is dependent on what your server and servlet container is. I use tomcat and so I have a proxy.jsp to do the work. Source code for white-list proxies are on the net. After checking the IP is okay (involved for my case), then the jsp code is: if (okFlag) { BufferedReader brrr = request.getReader(); String s; StringBuffer postContent = new StringBuffer(); while((s = brrr.readLine()) != null) postContent.append(s); HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); if (postContent.length() > 0) { connection.setUseCaches(false); connection.setRequestMethod("POST"); connection.setDoInput(true); connection.setDoOutput(true); connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/xml"); OutputStreamWriter wr = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream()); wr.write(postContent.toString()); wr.flush(); wr.close(); } String contentType = connection.getContentType(); if ("application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml".equals(contentType)) contentType = "text/xml"; response.setContentType(contentType); InputStream input = connection.getInputStream(); BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(input); ByteArrayOutputStream buf = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); int result = bis.read(); while (result != -1) { byte b = (byte)result; buf.write(b); result = bis.read(); } %><%=buf.toString()%><% } else { %>Access to <%=urlString%> prohibited<% } You should seek help on writing/getting a proxy from user groups dedicated to your particular server arrangement.
