They use a Proxy too. jQuery now supports using JSONP callbacks which avoid the issue outside of OL: http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax#options Need to ask on OL list if this same technique can be used for OL... > Saving to a temporary file is not an option when the kml is generated > dynamically from queries.
