[jQuery] cross domain XML with ajax
Hi!
I'm writing an OGC/WMS Viewer using jQuery. One task I need to
accomplish involves making a getCapabilities request against a Web
Mapping Service, which responds with some XML.
I know that the $.ajax function allows me to get JSON from another
domain, but is there a way to get XML from another domain? I've tried
various permutations of data types, and the $.ajax call with the
"jsonp" call gets closest--it returns the XML, but since it's not true
JSON, the browser complains.
Is my only option to use a proxy web service to access the XML?
Thanks!
