I trying to create a mashup for googlemaps with a couple of rest services, they work just fine calling it from the browser with args or using php wrapper to do it.
But when I wrap up the call in javascript as XMLHttpRequest or GDownloadUrl(). I get an error indicating "permission denied". Something about calling servers non-locally.
Didn't see any mashup examples that use them, but all other methods using php are a pain, because I dont want to intermix php and javascript like the phonenumber demo. And I need multiple instances.
For instance something like this...
(not functional, just showing how I would call a rest from gdownloadurl)
GDownloadUrl("http://service.openkapow.com/demo/whitepagesrest.rest?resultformat=xml", function(data) {
var xml = GXml.parse(data);
// ... Xml now has everything I would need...
}
