Soap and proxies?

[poizn]

Hi all

In my quest to find out more about soap, ajax and doing requests on the page, I have stumbled upon this javascript soap client library
http://www.terracoder.com/soapclient/examples.html

They create and use a proxy.

What is that point of going through a proxy?

Thanks in advance

Hi all

I found the reason why...
Browser security restrict you from requesting data from other domains (called Cross-Domain Violation), thus you need to create a proxy on your server that can request data from another domain.

Hope this helps someone else
