YQL (yahoo's query language) provides an interface you can use to proxy the request and fetch / send any url on any domain. http://bit.ly/7TCFgn (written by me) i wrote this interface for mootools earlier but you can also look at the example done for jquery here: http://bit.ly/8GMfiP (original post on ajaxian that i converted) basically - using jsonp callback, you can do it in vanilla javascript too without the aid of a framework - but frameworks make it easier. hope this helps somebody
first link throws an error: Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server. The proxy server could not handle the request GET /shell/aUgSz/. Reason: Error reading from remote server Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at mootools.net Port 80 Code (markup): it's always possible you can just create your own proxy with server-side, about 5 lines with asp.net.
