Hi! I'm writing an OGC/WMS Viewer using jQuery. One task I need to accomplish involves making a getCapabilities request against a Web Mapping Service, which responds with some XML.
I know that the $.ajax function allows me to get JSON from another domain, but is there a way to get XML from another domain? I've tried various permutations of data types, and the $.ajax call with the "jsonp" call gets closest--it returns the XML, but since it's not true JSON, the browser complains. Is my only option to use a proxy web service to access the XML? Thanks!
