Not possible to access an XML-file from another server, is this true?

Moskog

By going through some javascript-tutorials I read the following:

For security reasons, modern browsers do not allow access across domains.

This means, that both the web page and the XML file it tries to load, must be located on the same server
( http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_parser.asp )

Ok, so does this mean that If I load a web page located on a remote server, this page can not access an XML-file located on my Spinneret?

No possibilities at all?

By setting the appropriate headers in the HTTP response you can allow cross origin resources. There's even a whole website for the topic:

http://enable-cors.org/

Edit: This only applies to browsers. If you have server side code that pulls the XML file then there is no CORS to worry about.

Thanks for reply, SLRM, I'm currently into so many projects I haven't been able to answer. But I am checking out that website and trying to figure out and fully understand this CORS-thing. Very interesting!
