Jonathan and Karthik,
While there are circumstances where you can't make cross-domain web
requests due to security constraints (some POST requests come to mind),
there are other situations where it is allowed. In fact, the RPC
implementation in Qooxdoo allows for some cross-domain calls if the
server itself is set to allow them, although it's not a good idea.
However, from what I remember and without going and looking at the
Qooxdoo docs, I thought that the HttpRequest was a standard GET request
that can request content from any server, regardless of matching domain.
Am I remembering this incorrectly?
Since there are several ways of making requests in Qooxdoo based on
various framework classes, a summary of the capabilities and limitations
of each approach might help new developers (and some of us older ones
too). Is there a succinct summary in somebody's back pocket that could
shed light for others on this particular topic of cross-domain access?
