[ka-Map-users] Calling ka-map backend from a remote website throws security exception

[Paul Spencer]

Christian,

you need to create a script that will proxy your request to your  
remote server.  This is a fairly common problem.  I believe there are  
a number of proxy scripts available.

Alternately, you could load the application from that server ...

Cheers

Paul
