I don't think so.

This is possible with CORS, and I suggested it a while back, see
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20251#c8 . According to
Wikipedia the latest version of every major browser supports CORS,
except Opera and IE; IE has a barely usable proprietary interface to
CORS in XDomainRequest, which we may or may not be able to use for
this.
