In so far I see, Ajax Cross Domain would use the same mechanism as your JSP/PHP, but then done in Perl: grab URI, perform request, return response. I think this is a dead simple principle; in my opinion not complex at all; the elaboration might look complex if the environment/ technology is unknown, like e.g. I would find your solution more difficult, because I am unfamiliar with JSP and PHP. I agree that Ajax Cross Domain could be considered as a server (as any CGI/PHP/ASP/...?), but I would rather look at it as a regular script, a bit in the tradition of all those ancient content-grabbers, but then then in a modern ajaxy coat. > To provide such a service for the public is nice, but would it > stand up to worldwide use?

I'm quite positive that scripts like Ajax Cross Domain reflect a real need, but you're absolutely right that multiple good solutions available. Cheers, -- Bart |
