Using XMLHttpRequest

Most browsers, as a security precaution, allow the XMLHttpRequest object to only fetch data from the domain where the script itself was loaded. For flakes, this restriction effectively means that Flakes can only fetch data from *.pageflakes.com using XMLHttpRequest.

To work around this, Pageflakes provides the ContentProxy object.
