I was looking at how Microsofts" Start.com (www.start.com/myw3b) pulls in data from web feeds that are not on there own servers and it seems that they have a script that forwards on the request to the remote server and passes it back as their own.
Essentially the request is tunneled through their systmen and passed back to the client.This is done so because browsers such as Firefox and Internet Explorer (in certain configurations) will not allow a website to get data from another domain. Which, for security reasons makes sense I suppose.It therefore seems that for my AJAX Application I will have to take the hit of the added bandwidth for the data that will returned from Yahoo and Technorati.I don"t think I can perform a Redirect on the XMLHttpRequest, as that will probably cause many more problems.
I lead the Chrome Developer Relations team at Google.
We want people to have the best experience possible on the web without having to install a native app or produce content in a walled garden.
Our team tries to make it easier for developers to build on the web by supporting every Chrome release, creating great content to support developers on web.dev, contributing to MDN, helping to improve browser compatibility, and some of the best developer tools like Lighthouse, Workbox, Squoosh to name just a few.
I love to learn about what you are building, and how I can help with Chrome or Web development in general, so if you want to chat with me directly, please feel free to book a consultation.
