Could this be done with a Java applet instead of a Java servlet? I’m trying to use AJAX within a compiled HTML help file but the peculiar protocol ms-help:// is causing “same origin policy” problems.

I really dont understand why companies, schools, governments think they have the right to dicate what people do online, its essentially censorship and its wrong.

There are, generally speaking, two kinds of Cross-Domain Proxy. The example here is a straight proxy that, as you say, is only useful in specialised situations, e.g. on a secure intranet. For most applications, they'll want to use a more specialised, Facade/Mediator, style of proxy that offers only app-specific services.

Hi Simon,

I realize that this could be an issue as if not configured correctly you could open yourself up to be a universal proxy to anyone. I have tried to address some strategies in the comments of the blog entry which matches closer to the URL you refer to. You could take the XmlHttpProxy a step further and provide a unique token to the rendered JavaScript as to prevent other web applicatons from using JSONP requests from other sites.

I plan to address these in the proxy in the next rev of the proxy. I be open to any other suggestions/advice that you have.
