yes rapahel, you will be able to make ajax calls to your server with "standard AJAX". BUT you will face problems with cross domain requests, and PREFLIGHT OPTIONS requests. it is similar to what happens with flash requests and crossdomain.xml
here you have a bunch of information: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/http_access_control your server (or php) will have to add some headers to reply the OPTIONS request. in the other hand, the makerequest also adds the opensocial data (including validation). a week ago i had to decide about this, and i stayed with makerequest. hope it helps. -- Roberto Scattini 2011/6/3 Rapha <cont...@raphael.ws> > Hi, > > I'm writing a social gadget to Orkut that make calls to my server. > These calls are meant to store user data, game data, "neighbors" and > so on... > Well, I'm not sure if it's worth make calls to this server using > gadgets.io.makeRequest.
