So if you want to check some external URLs you have to work with a proxy script which is installed at the web server which is also delivering your app.

Remote Requests are also failing when the tester is using a local apache for example and tries to access e.g. "http://qooxdoo.org";. A possible solution can be to develop a kind of ready-to-run webserver setup which every tester can install. This package includes the web-server, the proxy script and your qooxdoo app. This way every tester has a local setup which he/she can use independenly. Drawback: Updates to such a setup are more complex. Just my 2cents. cheers, Alex ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
