Hey Christoph,

It is NOT a problem.  It is a SOLUTION.  Allowing AJAX to cross-site 
would open the flood on XSS attacks all over the place, circumventing 
corporate firewalls entirely.

The traditional approach, used by most apps and online portals, is to 
have a "proxy" script on the same server, which takes the URL as its 
argument, grabs it on the server side and sends the response untouched 
to the client side.  It's used for RSS/Atom feeds, REST-based (or even 
SOAP-based, heavens!) web services, etc.
