[Solved] Same Origin Policy, Javascript/jQuery AJAX and retrieving an RSS XML feed

by


There are three ways to get around the Same-Origin Policy:

  1. Proxy — as Strawberry Sheurbert did, perfectly effective but a waste of bandwidth and computing power
  2. JSONP — loading the data through the script tag. Needs cooperation from source website and basically hackish and clumsy.
  3. CORS — the “right” way, elegant and nuanced, but needs a lot of cooperation from source website and doesn’t work with older browsers.

You pays your money and you takes your chance.
