[jQuery] Calling $.ajax with fully qualified url results in error


I need to call $.ajax with a fully qualified url. For instance:
$.ajax(
        {
            type: "GET",
            url: "http://www.google.com",
            dataType: "html",
            success: function(data)
            {
                alert(data);
            },
            error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown)
            {
                alert(textStatus + errorThrown);
            }
        });
It always hits the alert in the error function with "errorundefined".
