Hi, My objective is to get around the same origin policy to make AJAX calls to another host. One way to do this is to route the requests through a proxy on the original server. Could I somehow use an iframe to get around this (I'm really a newbie on this stuff)? Currently I'm thinking of writing a controller which gets the URL from a query parameter, constructs a new Request, calls paste.proxy with it and returns the Response from the proxy. This probably can be made to work, but I'm not terribly happy with this solution, so if anyone has a better idea, please let me know.
