Hey Jason,
You must have a reason why the server cannot simply query Wikipedia?
You can use CORS Ajax calls these days so there is no need for a link. See
for example the following snippet from Wt.js:
var crossDomain =
(url.indexOf("://") != -1 || url.indexOf("//") == 0) &&
host(url) != window.location.host;
function createRequest(method, url) {
var request = null;
var supportsRequestHeader = true;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
request = new XMLHttpRequest();
if (crossDomain) {
if ("withCredentials" in request) {
if (url) {
request.open(method, url, true);
request.withCredentials = "true";
}
} else if (typeof XDomainRequest != "undefined") {
request = new XDomainRequest();
if (url) {
supportsRequestHeader = false;
try {
request.open(method, url + '&contentType=x-www-form-urlencoded');
} catch (err) {
request = null;
}
}
} else
request = null;
} else
if (url)
request.open(method, url, true);
} else if (!crossDomain && window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
request = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (err) {
try {
request = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
} catch (err2) {
}
}
if (url && request)
request.open(method, url, true);
}
if (request && url && supportsRequestHeader)
request.setRequestHeader("Content-type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
return request;
}
